Last year I made a boo boo and went over my numbers on one occasion and was unfortunately reported to Ofsted (it was an innocent mistake I didn't realise my son who was 7 at the time still counted in my numbers when at school). I have siblings who are 3 and 2, another boy 3 a toddler 18 months, my daughter 4 and another son 6.
Since my Ofsted complaint I haven't had all toddlers together because it would take me over my under 8 ratio but now my older son is 8....so.... Can I now have the 3 year, 2 year old, another 3 year old, 18 month old, my daughter 4 and my son 6 altogether on the odd occasion if the need arises? None are new to my care, it is continuity of care but will mean i will have 5 under school age??
Anybody clarify this for me please. I have queried it with Ofsted and they just said follow the eyfs guidelines!!!
