running a creche

I am running out of work. Two mindees are leaving as mums are going on ML and the work round my way is very quiet. I live near a gym and I had a brain wave that I could run a creche from my house, till work picks up. Mums could go to gym and I would charge a small fee. Does anyone know the legal stuff. I would only look after children for 2 hours at a time.

Alas I don't, as the creche rules changed.
I think the Registration Not Required factsheet by Ofsted says under what conditions registration isn't needed.
However would you be resigning your childminder registration to run the creche? Also as your home is not on the same site as the gym, I don't think it is a creche... not sure what the legal definitions are but I think a creche type facility is where a parent is still on-site.

Could you just advertise at the gym somehow, saying that you provide ad-hoc childminding?

Thanks I will call the gym and ofsted and see what they say.
