How does food work with a childminder or nanny? Home based childcare food arrangements

This episode is about how to handle food if you use a home based childcare professional, so that’s a childminder caring in their home, or a nanny caring in yours and I have a short interview with one of each about how they divide the responsibility with families.Nannies and childminders work under quite different frameworks in the UK, and that affects both their legal responsibilities and how you, as a parent, can approach making agreements with them.The interviews are with:Claire Hassall, an Ofsted-registered childminder with over a decade of experience, known for her love of books, bookish play, nature adventures, and tasty bakes. When not in the kitchen, garden or allotment, she mentors other childminders.Jackie Cox started her childcare career in a nursery and then was a nanny in several family homes. I did this interview back in 2023 when I was originally planning the podcast and since then she has had a career change and is now a personal trainer but this was during her time as a nanny.Music "Happy Days" by Simon Folwar via Uppbeat.
