my new certificate says
the early years age group is children aged from birth to 31 Aug after their
5th birthday
I have a boy just started full time education, he will be 5 in December.
I can now count him in my 5 to 8 year old can't I ?

Yes they are still under EYFS at that point but when they are in full time education they count in your 5 - 8 age group.
ok another question (sorry to hijack :blush: )
i have a mindee who is 5, her birthday was 29th august, so does this mean she is out of the EYFS too??

If you have a child in Reception year at school they are not included in your ratio's for under 5 and over 5 but they are included in your Early Years Register
If you have children at school you need to get your numbers changed on your certificate relating specifically to EY Register. They are not out of the EYFS

If she was 5 on 29th August she won't be in your EYR. She should be in Year 1 now then
If she was 5 on 29th August she won't be in your EYR. She should be in Year 1 now then
yes she is :jump for joy:

sorry to jump on this post....but Debbie just seen your post and didn't really understand (I've just posted a question myself about numbers...I'm easily confussed!!)
is this to say we have to get our certificates changed if we get a 4 year old in full time ed?
My certificate mentions about "when caring for 4 or 5 year old children who are in full time education, may increase the number in the early years age group by the number of chidren in full time education provided the maximum number is not exceeded (Early Years Register)
is this okay or do we have to ring ofsted to tell them we have 4-5 year olds in full time ed?
sorry to jump on the post again hope I haven't annoyed!
