Nanny 3hrs in own home rule?

I'm sure I've read somewhere that a nanny can have their charge in their own home for a minimum of 3 hrs a week. Vast amounts of googling isn't bringing anything up, have I just imagined this?
Can anyone tell me if this is legal, links would be lovely too. Tia

A nanny (or anyone) can look after a child in their own home, for payment, for up to two hours a day without registering with Ofsted.

PDF here

People exempt from registration is in annex A: Registration not required.

'If they provide care where a child does not stay with them for more than two hours a day, even if the childcare service is open for longer than two hours.'

That's what it says ^^

Sorry yes I did mean maximum. Thanks for that PDF I'll have a look.

The legislation is here. The Childcare (Exemptions from Registration) Order 2008 defines Exempt Childminding which is what enables a nanny to care for children in the child's own home without compulsory registration.

Whilst a nanny could care for a child at their [the nanny's] home for a short period of time, their nanny public liability insurance may not provide any cover. So a quick visit so the children can see where nanny lives is fine. Going there to pick fruit from the garden is fine.
