I've had an enquiry for after school care.

He will turn 4 in October and goes to a private school full time.

Does this mean I can count him as my over 5 group after his birthday or do i have to wait until next september when he will become a rising 5.

What I mean is are they counted as 4/5 yr old schoolies once they turn 4 and do the full 10 sessions or do we have to wait until its they school year that they will turn 5.

Does anyone understand me or have i rambled??????????

Usually when they start full time school they are considered in the over 5 range, but they are normally 4 already.

So, as he not 4 until October I don't know for certain! Perhaps phone Ofsted to clarify.

How did it go today?

Yes it does make sense as its how i thought but wanted to make sure as he will obviously still be 3 when the school year starts. Luckily doesn't matter to me as I have a baby startign in october and just wanted to clarify what vacancies I would still have left.
