Childcare bubbles - adult interaction?

I can't seem to work out clearly what the guidelines say.

Due to my DH and I both working over new year my parents (who aren't see anyone else) will provide childcare for several days for our DC. We're both in tier 2. Due to the distance, the DC will go to my parents for a few days.

My work is busy at needs to be done but it is WFH. Can I go with them and stay at my parents house, as they are still providing childcare? I know there was a lot of debate on a thread a while ago about whether grandparents providing childcare could stay in the child's house (not an option here due to DH doing night shifts for that period).

Does anyone have any better insight into this?

No you can't stay. Childcare bubbles are to drop and run, the adults should not interact at all beyond exchanging any pertinent facts about the child, and that should be fully socially distanced.

No, you can’t socialise with adults in childcare bubbles. It’s purely for childcare and nothing else. You can’t stay with them or go in their house.
