I went to college for two years to train to become a qualified nursery nurse, not for a few weeks to become a childminder. Nannies and childminders cannot be classified as being the same.
I would rather be included on a national register of nannies than a register of childminders, and I know many other qualified nannies who would feel equally offended if someone was to refer to them as a childminder.
