Home-based childcare. Care for a handful of children in your own home.
A childminder registered with Ofsted may look after only a small number of children at once, and that cap sets the ceiling on earnings before anything else does. Fees are hourly, funded hours are claimed from the council at a rate that rarely covers a full day, and a family leaving for school takes a chunk of the income with them. Start-up costs are tiny, which is the trade for a business that cannot grow much without an assistant.
