not sure, as I'm not a childminder, but I think some are worried about the implications of this during the 'school holiday' period when you may be caring for the child allday- therefore you'd have to keep a place 'open' as the ratios change during holiday time.
Not my area - but something childminders need to keep an eye on I recon. Hope someone comes along soon that can clarify this issue.
