Is it acceptable to put a baby in a pushchair to sleep for their nap, would Ofsted think this ok. Mum not wanting day sleeps in a cot in the day so trying to find a solution that would suit us both.

so long as mum is happy i dont think ofstead should mind.

id get it in writing so you can show ofstead it has been discussed and that you are following mums wishes

I think it would need to be a secure, lie flat pushchair and you would have to make sure they were warm/cool. Get Mum to confirm in writing, as nannyl says.

Why doesn't Mum want daytime sleeps in a cot?

She may want baby to learn to associate cot with longer night time sleeps. I am the same and perfectly happy for baby to sleep most anywhere in the day (ig but not limited to pushchair)

Why would OFSTED (or anyone) oppose this?

Yes I think it is as Strix says with longer time sleeps at night. Thanks for advice, I will see if that suits her and will get it in writing.
