Was wondering if anyone could help?
I have 3 year old twins who are in council nursery but as their nursery isn't open during the holidays I was going to ask my friend who is a qualified nursery teacher to nanny my kids during the hoidays. As I receive help from working tax for childcare, I dont know how this would work as i would need a code form friend to prove she is a registered child minder.

So to make a long story short does anyone know How and Where she can get this code to be registered???????? Confused

Think you mean ofsted registered and therefore she would need to become ofsted registered, she could do this as a nanny and look after the children in your home or she could register as a childminder and do it from her home

Registration as a nanny will be faster but could take several months and they will need to meet the training and insurance criteria.
I feel you would be very lucky to get them registered by late July. It might happen but it might take longer. So if you do decide to go the nanny route, do have an alternative plan as well.

If she's got all the relevant paperwork (qual, insurance etc.) then it can be done quite quickly, maybe 6 weeks or so. Depends on the volume of work Ofsted have I think becuase I've heard it has taken some people ages....mine was quick (within 6 weeks).
