I want to open a garderie in the Morges area targetting ex-pat families, to give them the kins of nursery services which are offered in the UK, so 7 til 7, open through the Summer etc.

I'm starting from scratch.

Does anyone know if you can do this on a B permit?

Do I need childcare qualifications or can I employ fully qualified staff?

I am intouch with the Vaud dept of jeunesse but the wheels move slowly and I wondered if you guys and gals had any experience of this already.

Any advice welcome, thank you.
