    Well yes. Ridiculous really. My neighbour has had grandparents in this week as she's gone back to work. I'd do the same and break the law but all you need is one nosey neighbour.

    Even then the police have better things to be doing than rushing round, as I said, unenforceable. Just the same as the no sex rule.

    But there will be many people anxious and worried about it so won't break the law which will leave them in a difficult situation.

    Could the grandparents register as childminders (as they are now allowed to work again)? I don't know what this entails, so can't say how reasonable this is.
    It's not difficult!
