no one can say yeah or nay but there are several minders who have been or on tablets for various reasons.
Ofsted will probably want additional information from you and your doctor regarding your condition and prognosis.

Its my understanding that each application will be viewed individually, taking into account your medical report from your doctor. Whatever condition(s) you may have, as long as Ofsted can be sure it is controlled and the children are not at risk then you should be fine. The only way to find out is to apply.
