It depends if you lock the sprog in a filing cabinet for safety 
Are you covered in your insurance? Health an safety policy updated, risk assessments completed? Maybe you dont need these 
We used to have babies and young children on our premises at times - we had to upgrade our insurance for this and ensure the premises were *fit* for children. I was working in the third sector though - not sure about private sector stuff.

Bloody good idea !!! I`ve just been chaining it to the wall so it can`t crawl about ...in the filing cabinet nobody can see it !!
Youll be okay as long as Gaunty doesnt find out

It might depend on the workplace - a machine shop with 10 tonne press and band saws might need a slightly stiffer HS&E risk assessment than, say, a dress shop.

She could get a job polishing his "Jaaaguuuaaar" you know the one he bought with all the money he earnt after he had gone bankrupt and knocked all those people up north.

Personally, I take my hat off to you for understanding enough to allow her to bring her child to work with her. 
There are often sprogs in our office during the school holidays, no-one cares. I'm not sure what the laws are but I could probably find out for you (although the laws in Scotland are possibly different).
As has been said though, I won't tell if you don't!

if its a licenced premises she can get away with it because there is a clause in the licence that is ... protecting children from harm... ie she is protecting her child by bringing it to work rather than leaving it with a sitter or on its own
just 1 of the rants i have regulary with pubs that dont allow children on the premises at any time

another thought .... is the workplace also for members of the public ... ie a shop .. because the insurance etc would already be done to cover children as members of the public
Hats off to you flower, these concessions should be so commonplace as to not even merit discussion.
However as a man who's spent his life breaking down the fictions of jobsworth bureaucracies I would comment thus.
If mom's happy and you are the employer then the only people it really affects are you and her and the wee one. Assuming the environment isnt what you two would consider hazardous you could take a pragmatic approach and trust to the fact that accidents are unlikely and that in any event the mom is unlikely to make a fuss about an accident.
Sure if you are the kinda guy who likes to cover all the bases, do a risk assesment and document the mothers responsibilities and get mom to sign a waiver and clear it with your insurers but tbh I think life is too short to stuff Olive.
Good luck.

I`m a Dad who fought long and hard for the right to raise my daughter ...I know that life doesn`t always fit with work ....it`s easy for me to accept that children are far more resilient than "The Law" will allow.
I`m cross because it`s not normal !! So many hurdles are placed in front of employers and employees making it impossible for some people to even contemplate working.
Young children are in danger in all sorts of situations .... When this little girl is in our workplace she is possibly in one of the safest enviroments she`s ever in !
Half the problem is, the people who bring in these "laws" always assume that a "Child in the workplace" means that you will be operating a lathe, or blacksmiths Forge, pouring Molten Lava all over the place, or encouraging the child to crawl between the robots on a car production plant to pick up the scraps. Some days, with my kids, I can see the logic in this...
I have kids in my workplace every day, but that's because I work from home. I have no doubt that H&S could find 100 things that are potentially child dangerous here. Kids can make a tea-towel deadly if they put their minds to it.
The only tip I would give is not to do a Carol as in the Brittas Empire and keep the baby in the drawer of the filing cabinet. Not a good idea. The nappies leak all over your important files and you get snot on your invoices.
I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but
Yes, the liability insurance has to be checked.
It is not illegal as long as you have cover and also you have a clause allowing agreement of this in your employees contract for all employees - favouritism can backfire.
Here is the biggie.....................
Depending upon the size of the company and who is in contact with this child:-
Employee CRB checks - This is your sticky point....it is your legal obligation if allowing this child to be there to implement all possible safeguards to prevent that child coming to harm..........................
