Which people carrier for a childminding business?

My daughter, who runs a childminding business, is looking for an economical seven or eight-seat people carrier, up to three years old and used mainly for short journeys, to take up to six children in a mix of booster and baby seats. What would be best and what sort of budget does she need to allow?

I recommend the Renault Grand Scenic 1.4TCE, as tested here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/renault/renault-gr.../ About £10,000 for a 2010/59 reg.
