Question: What do childminders need to know about taking care of more than 1 child?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Actions for early years and childcare providers during the coronavirus outbreak
section_headers: Childminders
Can childminders get involved in supporting the continuation of provision for priority children?
section_content: To align with the government’s position on nannies, we are updating our
guidance for early years settings to confirm that paid childcare can be
provided to the children of one household from Wednesday 13 May 2020. This
includes childminders, who may choose to look after the children of one
household, if they are not already looking after vulnerable children or those
of critical workers. From 1 June 2020, childminders can look after children of
all ages, in line with their current Ofsted registration, and within usual
limits on the number of children they can care for
Childminders can continue to look after vulnerable children and children of
critical workers.
In addition, under existing registration arrangements, childminders can work
for up to 50% of the time on non-domestic premises.
Childminders who do not already have approval to work up to 50% of their time
on non-domestic premises will need to seek approval from Ofsted, after seeking
initial support from their local authority. If childminders have the capacity,
and there is a local need, they could help support with staff shortages in
centre-based childcare provision.

professions. You can apply if you are self-employed, or a member of a
partnership, and have lost profits due to coronavirus, as well as meeting
further eligibility criteria. HM

to apply online.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It's just a shorter response from the first two, but it still answers the question.
There is a decent amount of information here.  It does mention childminders that are taking care of more than one child.

Can childminders work with other childminders to look after more priority children together?

Yes – up to 3 childminders (or a mix of up to 3 childminders and assistants)
can work together in the same domestic premises. However, if more than 3
childminders work together they will need to apply to Ofsted to register
childcare on domestic premises.
If registered to deliver childcare on domestic premises, 4 or more
childminders (or a mix of 4 or more childminders and assistants) can work
together in the same domestic premises, which would enable them to care for
larger groups of children and still meet ratio requirements. Further details
of requirements for childminders and childcare on domestic premises is
available.
