Forced to put baby in daycare?

Before my husband and I were married, we decided that if we had children together, I would stay home to care for them. This is my second marriage, I have one child from my first marriage. I had terrible daycare experiences with my first, and I would rather not have more kids, than to put them in one of those places. We just had a baby, and I had been staying home, but now my husband decides, he doesn’t want me spending money on my older child. He actually cursed me out in public for buying school supplies for my oldest. He makes more than enough money, (he’s a software developer), we don’t struggle to pay bills, we can actually afford for me not to work. Then he tells me his parents don’t really approve of me staying home either, so I need to go back to work.
I feel as though he tricked me into having this new baby, with the promise that I could take care of him myself, and now that he’s here and I have no choice, back to work for me. I’ve since refused to have any more children.
From a parents perspective.What is a good NAME for an At Home Child Care business?

My first Name is Katie. Someone thought “Katie’s Kid Castle” was cute but I’m not too crazy about it. I like something more comforting like “Safe Haven” and “KinderCARE” . All suggestions welcome.
Also, if anyone knows of a website I can use to check the use of my name so that I do not duplicate or steal someone else’s idea that would be of help.
Thanks!
What do I do to have a home-based child-care business?

What qualifications and other things?
Does it take long to get to that stage?
Thanks!
