Ok so my problem is that I do not know which way it is beneficial for me to register.

I technically work as a nanny, but I also offer ad-hoc care and it would be great to be able to offer this from my own home also.

I know if I register as a CM will need all the forms/policies etc and that I will be inspected also know about EYFS and am cool with all that. But can I technically do this? I need to be registered as a parent I work for will be claiming tax vouchery things; but if I register as a CM (rather than as a nanny via voluntary route) will this effect them?

Also seems to make more sense because I may want to become a CM at some point (v v unlikely but you never know do you?)

Nannynick - my regular nanny family will want me to look after their Lo at theirs as a nanny. But then if I want to say, be a CM on weekends I wont be registered so can't.

KatyMac - is it that simple though? Or do you mean pay 2 lots of registration fees?

Register as both - then you can offer both

Where does the parent want you to care for their child/children - at your home, or theirs?
