Are you in England? I'm in Scotland and my certificate says I can't have more than 6 under 16 but I know in England it is sometimes 6 under 8 and you have to risk assess for any over 8. You only have 5 under 8 and 1 over at the moment so I think you could if you risk assess.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge will be along soon to answer.

Yes that take you to 6 under 8.
The only thing I would say if you were to get another enquiry it would be hard to work around an hour a day once a week :)

It's fine. Kids move into the over 8's group the day they turn 8, so you currently only have 5 under 8.
