There are basically two ways you can approach this, top down or bottom up. Top down, does she have council permission and does the day care centre comply with the regulations for your state (including all building codes).
Bottom up, are the kids in danger or at risk, is it disrupting the community, does she have necessary permission from her landlord (apparently not) or the owners corporation (ditto)?
The issue seems simple – either the facility is legal and safe or not. But there’s the complication that she may be providing a valuable service to local mothers.
But the landlord should be aware that they are responsible for the actions of their tenants while they are in the scheme and that has implications with which they may not be comfortable.
Bottom line, a garage is not an appropriate place for a commercial child care centre and the operator is probably in breach of her lease.
