Childminding?

[Tealady1983]

Ok so this person I know is being paid to look after a child. She isn't a registered childminder, insured or any of that. She is quite mean to this child too she doesn't pay tax on her earnings either

Who if anyone should she be reported to? I am trying to locate mother if said child to inform just how her daughter is being treated x

Is she a nanny?

I shall be looking after one of my sons friends in the holidays without being paid for it is this the same thing?

No just a sahm

What country are you in?

Where does care take place - her home, or the child's?

Have you evidence of payment taking place?

I shall be looking after one of my sons friends in the holidays without being paid for it is this the same thing?
No as long as there is no payment involved.
In England there is an exemption: legislation
In other countries there is likely to be similar legislation, do check though.

It's uk and her own home. No evidence apart from what she is saying she's making x

Need more than UK. Scottish law is different to English. Different regulators in each country. So if you want to know which regulator to contact then need to know which country.

As care is in her home it is likely to fall under childminding regulations. The more evidence you have the better - any advertising... if you see them advertising, take a photo of the advert.

The regulator may not do very much initially, they may take a softly softly approach and tell them about the requirements to register.

If you are concerned a child is being abused, contact your local social services - have a look on county/borough council website for their contact details, some will deal via a central number others will have separate number for reporting suspected abuse.

It's England nanny chick thanks for all your help. I am unsure if it would be classed as abuse it's not physical she's just mean but excessively so IMO

Regulator: Ofsted - 0300 123 4666 www.ofsted.gov.uk/contact-us
Law in England is that childcare in the providers home requires registration if it is for 2 hours or more per day for reward.

Ofsted have a factsheet about situations which DO NOT require registration.

May be emotional abuse. NSPCC may be able to talk to you about any concerns.

Age of the child is a factor. Children aged 8+ do not fall under regulations.
The child may be a relation.

Def not a relation don't wanna out myself but child is 3 x

The humiliation and criticising rings a bell. She says things like well I don't care about you and calls her lazy and fat

If she is boasting about her income and you know her name and address I would report her to HMRC as it sounds doubtful that she would be paying tax.

Hmrc and Ofsted.
