However, if one childminder simply replaces the unpaid work formerly done by one parent there is no real gain.
This was three times as many as those who went to a nursery, four times as many as those with a childminder.
In the evenings she repeated the journeys in reverse: from work to the private nursery, from private nursery to the childminder's house, and then home (three journeys).
Will he at least allow them the cost of paying childminders?
Figures on the number of children cared for by childminders are not collected centrally.
It is not possible to give a reliable estimate of the number of unregistered childminders.
I entirely concede that a good childminder is perfectly capable of assisting in the education process of a child, but so are the parents.
Local authorities have a duty to approve and register childminders and other day care providers, yet these children return to their families each day.
