I am a qualified nanny and have worked as a nanny for the past 11 years. I do not want to register as a childminder, despite what the Government has said in its proposals to introduce nationally a new category of 'home childcarers' to allow childminders to look after children in the child's home (News, 25 April). 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.
