national trust family membership

We have just brought a family NT membership and I have a question! I did email but had no reply and have yet to remember to call to ask

Our 7 year old daughter is covered by our membership. In the holidays she goes to a childminder who has 2 daughters under 4. Childminder and husband have a couples membership as their children are too young to pay entry.

If I gave the childminder our card could she use it for my daughter's entry if the went out for the day to a NT site? It seems a waste to have to pay for her when she is included in our family membership. As they have their own couples membership there would be no worries about them getting a freebie, but I wouldn't want to put them in an awkward position either!

Many thanks

    We used to give our family card to the grandparents to use for our children (grandparents had lifetime membership) and it never caused a problem
