Hey all,
I'm so sorry that im posting yet another ratios question. But please help my brain is numb!
So before having my little girl (6weeks ago) I worked with 5 under 5s as I have my own 4 year old, siblings 1&2, 3 yo who went from part time to full time and 1 yo who is sibling of an over 8.
So from sept I would be working with 6 under fives due to baby being born.
I was thinking an assistant would be the best option and since discussing it with one of my families who have just had a baby, they have asked if I could have the baby from september.
Which would mean that 3 days a week there would be in the setting 7 under 5s (including my own two children)
So anyway my question is if I work with an assistant can we care for these children? Its all through continuity of care but just think its too much.
