Age ranges and no of children - EYC application

[Alz79]

OK, probably been asked a million times, but:

I have three children of my own 7, 5 and 3. So on my form:-

Birth to under 1 = 1
1 to end of EYFS = 2
End of EYFS to 8 = 3
8-11 = 6??
11-15 = ?
15-18 = ?

help! :panic:

Wheres the 6 come from? You only have 3 children of your own

Indeed, how many over 8's are childminders allowed to care for? I understand the aspect regarding the care of EYFS children not being compromised, but what does that equate to in numbers?...there must be a limit!?

Yes I have my own three, one being EYFS age so only allowed another two EYFS, (no more than 1 under 1), or 3 children 5-8. That's right, isn't it??

Your limit is the number set by your insurance company. You will be insured for so many children. Check with them

Ah, I see...thank you.

Was planning to use Pacey, so will check out their policy details.
