Assuming I ever get husband's crb through (!!!) I am down to mind a little boy from September 2 days a week for 10 hrs a day - he will be 19 months.
I have a 4 year old and by then my other little girl will be 5 weeks older than the boy.
No issues yet but mum wants me to have her new baby from Feb next year - she will be 8 months old by then. My oldest will be a preschool for the 2 whole days (9-3.30).
I will be registered for 3 under 5 and 3 over 5s. While my daughter is at preschool I am within my numbers but for 2.5 hours a day there will be an overlap.
What is the likelihood of them giving me a variation? I thought the best plan was to go down the continuity of care route and also show how I will cope i.e triple buggy (well it won't be I have an easylife sport with a toddler seat but don't want to confuse the sitution) etc.
I am keen to know what the chances are as it might affect me having the little boy?
Ta muchly - any advice would be much appreciated!:)
