Are childminders allowed to take under 5s swimming to a friend's pool??

[gnocci]

5 or 6 children all under 5 (two of them 18m old, one about 2 I think) going to a mate's private pool? With two adults? Is that even allowed?????

Trust your instincts. If it doesn't feel right to you for your child then it's not. I wouldn't be happy and would worry lots on swimming day.

DS is 17mo and goes to Little Dippers and to the pool with DH and I but I'd not want someone else taking him to a private pool.

I wouldn't feel confident doing it myself I have 3 children 5,3, and 1. Even though the 5 year old is a good swimmer, I don't feel that I can give the a proper level of supervision by myself.
