Happy New Year to everyone x

I hope someone will be able to answer my question :)
My partner's mum is very keen on looking after my daughter once a week during the day. She really enjoys spending time with my lo and wants to bond with her a bit more. I am more than happy about it as my lo adores her nanny :)
I am registered to look after 6 children under 8 including my own daughter ( 18 months old). Does this mean that on days when lo is with her nanny I can take on another child? I can't do that at the moment because of the ratio(only 3 children under 5). How can I prove to Ofsted that my daughter is not actually at home on that day?
Any advice will be appreciated. TIA x

No you can't. Your children count in your numbers whether they are with you or not. This is in case they are unexpectedly at home, ill or on holiday or Pre School or your childminder closes for the day. It is irritating but logical.

Agree with Ricky. Your children always count in your numbers even if they are not with you.
