I am a childminder. I currently have 5 children in my care. 4 of the children have been pulled out for now, including one key workers (category 1) child because her dad is home and not a key worker so can care for her.
Yesterday morning, my second key workers (catagory 3) child was brought to me for the day as per. They have just finished 2 weeks isolation. At drop off, it because apparent that neither of the parents are actually working.
Now I have no idea what to do. Should I refuse to take their child? We havent seen anyone at all, and hardly been out for over a week. I feel like this is a bit of a piss take.

If they are HCPs a number yesterday were told they can no longer wear their uniform into work because of risk of assault 😨

Wtaf?! That’s horrendous! HCPs being assaulted??

A child of 15 I know, her mum is trying to send her to school. Mum is a keyworker, frontline, so fair enough, but dad is wfh! Mum is insisting that GCSEs might still go ahead (they won’t, but she won’t believe even the screenshots from the gov.uk site, bonkers) and she’d rather risk coming home, infecting her dd, send her dd to school so she can infect the other dc who are there and the staff!

Wherehaveallthepeoplegone I wasn't for a minute suggesting you should have the child, just correcting people who said both parents had to be key workers.
