Is far too easy to become a childminder; its about 6 hours worth of evening classes, a CRB check and a visit to see if your house is up to scratch - if it isnt they tell you to 'sort it out' for the next visit in 6 months time.
Easy money for the stay at home mum eager to cash in on the 'kiddy farming' game by parents who both have to work full time but can't afford 800 per month for full time nursery.
There are alot of decent childminders out there who are genuinely passionate about the role but also alot of 'cowgirls' who sit the kids in front of the TV all day whilst they do the minimum.
