Will Ofsted reduce my numbers when I have baby?

[carebear25]

Just as title says really or am i being really thick.

Currently registered for 3 children 0-8yrs plus my own child age 2yrs. Of which 2 can be under EY but no more than 1 under age of 1yr.

Will they reduce this to 2 children 0-8yrs plus my own 2 childrend age 0 + 2.5yrs.

your baby will take up your under 1's space which is also one of your 0-8 spaces

So they will reduce my numbers and will have 2 amend my certificate so il only b registerd 2 take 2 children on.....

If you have a 2 year old you should only be able to have 2 extra under 5's at the mo and only 1 extra when you have the baby as both children are counted in your numbers.
So when you have your baby you will only be able to take on 1 child in the EYFS age range who will have to be over 1 as you can only have 1 under 1.

U will be allowed 1 in ur EY (under 5's) and i think 1 over 5. Plus your 2 lo's

so at any one time u can have 4 children in your care
i think this is right hopefully someone else will come along to clarify

They may or may not. You are currently only allowed a total of 4 under 8 including your own. Why didn't you get the 6 under 8?

They will certainly change your numbers so that you can only have 1 under 5 but over 5 they may allow you to increase it.
i.e. 4 under 8 of which only 1 under 5, possibly leaving you 3 over 5

Confusing but it depends on Ofsted and their decision in the first place.

If your registration stays the same your certificate numbers will be reduced by one and it will be from your under 8's section.
