I believe it's 17... that's what they said when I asked about my dd.

Doubtful they will let you increase your numbers though for a 17 year old.

Also be aware if you go over 6 you will need planning permission to be legal.

I'd ring Ofsted and see what they say if you want to pursue it :D

My son registered as an assistant at 16, but we were unable to raise our numbers.

Wonder why they said no to dd then?

I rang and asked and they said it was 17 in the Eyfs :rolleyes:
