I've posted this in chat but also wanted to ask you lot if I am breaking the law by sending my ds to an unlicensed CM. Obviously, I know that she is.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

She is breaking the law by caring for your child without an Ofsted registration.

If your child had an accident whilst in her care she would have no insurance to cover her.

Please dont do this - she will not be inspected or CRB checked - she could be anyone. Dont put your child into this situation, however lovely she might be.

Also, I would strongly urge you to report her to Ofsted as she is putting all of the children that she cares for in potential danger.

I don't know but why would you want too? You'd have no comeback if anything went wrong.

Why would you, irrelevant of legalities?
