my friend has just started looking after her goddaughter. she has her full time in her house and her friend pays her for it. she says her friend (who used to be a childminder) said cos she wasn't advertising as a childminder she wasn't classed as one so didn't need to be registered with ofsted. now i thought anyone who looked after a child in their own house and was paid for it had to be registered? i don't want her to get into trouble cos her friend told her the wrong information!
