How to accept childcare vouchers as a personal tutor

[Haberdash]

I am about to start offering personal tutoring to children in various subjects at my house. A friend told me I could be paid in childcare vouchers, which I know a lot of parents would like as some have asked me. But I have no idea at all where to start.

I know I have to register with ofsted but I don't really understand what this is going to mean. I mean our house is not really toddler friendly but everyone I teach maths to will just be sitting at a desk. I am really not providing childcare in the normal sense of having lots of children to just play with. Will I have to get rid of my fire for example? Will I be inspected?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

I know this thread dated over a year ago, but it needs an update.

Individual tutors can DEFINITELY register with Ofsted, and you find them in childcare.co.uk.

Personally, I would recommend parents to have Ofsed registered tutors/ nannies/childcare... it is regulated, safe.

@mmoham08 Have you got a link to information for how a Tutor registers with Ofsted?

Individual private tutors can't be Ofsted registered, any tuition centre offering more than 20 hours tuition a week must be Ofsted registered.

@nannynick, just to clarify, I am a parent who hired a private tutor (via childcare.co.uk) during the lockdown and needed a home school helper and I wanted someone who was registered with Ofsted.

You can find more info regarding registration below:
www.gov.uk/guidance/childminders-and-childcare-providers-register-with-ofsted

and it up to the individuals/tutors how they work their hours on a weekly basis

So tutors are registering as nannies?
If they are doing childcare and doing a bit of homework help as part of that it makes sense but someone coming in just to do tutoring surely should be on a different register.
