5 or 6 children all under 5 (two of them 18m old, one about 2 I think) going to a mate's private pool? With two adults? Is that even allowed?????

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I would have thought that a risk assessment and maybe permission from parents may be useful for the childminder to have.

It's allowed but they will have to carry out a risk assessment. I took a 2 yr old and 4 yr old to a paddling pool and we left pronto because all the 4 yr old seemed to do was lie face down in the water (unintentionally).Most public pools only allow 2 children per adult.
