Feel trouble coming on

Can you put high trellising up your fence & grow climbing roses or similar to muffle the noise?

She has said that she will be able to have up to 12 children if some of them are after school care only. Shes talking 6.30am to 7pm

I think she's talking bollox!

8 children in a room 16 X 13? this is the same size as my living room and believe me 8 kids is 6 too many! esp if she has two helpers!
this sounds to me like she is telling porkies - I DONT think she has permission at all! I think she is counting on people not checking up!
unlicenced childminding does happen - mainly because people don't check!

The neighbour may have all the plans she likes but what she is saying is patently untrue.

There is no way she has permission for this from Ofsted who regulate all childminders. I actually gave up childminding as it was getting ridiculous the amount of hoops we had to jump through just to stay registered.

Just because her business is based there does not mean that the children and staff will be there all of the time especially during holidays. Many childminders take their charges out for activities in the summer often with other local childminders and their charges. Indeed if your area is well provided for in terms of leisure facilities then you may find that they are out more often than they are in.

I'm surprised she doesnt need a more private garden (ie: a higher fence) for security for the children. I would actually be asking her and her landlord (as they've approved it) for a taller fence to give you a little more privacy. Have you mentioned it to your landlord?

And this - her garden will need to be safe and secure.

Why not wait and see what happens when she starts the childminding - it may not be as instrusive as you fear.

However, if it does turn out to be intrusive, raise your concerns with her then.

There are early years guidelines around minding young children, it is still regarded as an educational position, so it won't be possible to have them running around screaming in the garden all day. She will need to account for the time they spend on certain activities.

I really wouldn't worry at this stage. For a start, just how many nice sunny days do we get on this soggy little island
