Ok, just when you think you have covered all worrying aspects off childcare

Organised crime worry, not one I would have thought off

That's quite a good idea you would never associate nursery's with money laundering would you!

It's an interesting article but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Criminals will try to launder money in any business they can.

I can just imagine explaining to the boss: " I can't come in for a few days whilst I organise alternative childcare; turns out the nursery's owned by master criminals and it can't operate as all their bank accounts are frozen during the investigation".

"Too stressed to come in to work today... I was late paying the childcare fees this month and woke up to find a Barbie Doll's head in my bed..."

don't know if its still the case but apparently one of the best ways to launder money was through HM Revenue and Customs. Overpay your tax bill in cash and HMRC will refund you with a shiny cheque for the overpayment, no bank would raise a questions about a chq from hmrc
