I would say 'yes'. Risk assess the situation, make sure you can cope with it and provide good care ....

I think yes too, under continuity and exceptional circumstances. I'm in a similar position. But, and it's a big but, I'm but sure I want to! I think I could manage, I know I have enough stuff, but I'm not sure I want to set the precedent...I've had a request to double up in June...the extra child is soooo easy, but the existing ones are not....urgh, will sleep on it again!

Yes I would say you can do it as they are all existing minded children.:thumbsup:
