hi, I`ve just moved to a new area and dont know anyone. my children are at school and work and job wise theres not a lot as its quite a rural area compared to where we have moved from. i`m a qualified nursery nurse which i loved , especially the younger children. i`m wondering if i register as a nanny do i have to follow the same criteria as a childminder ? ie observations etc.... any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. x

I would say yes in terms of observations etc..
But aint 100% sure as I have never done child-minding myself.

Good luck with the job search and hope you settle into your new area soon x
