If your daughter is not 8 til next week then this is correct only 5 under 8 of which no more than 3 can be in the early years (0 - 5 years) think if you check it will then state that with regard to the 3 in the early years no more than one child can be under the age of one year.

Next week when your daughter turns 8 you need to contact Ofsted who should then increase your certificate to say no more than 6 children under 8 years and which no more than 3 can be in the early years and of those 3 no more than one can be under 0ne year.

Hi :),
Hasn't this stuff been explained to you on your introductory course?!
Early years covers children from 0 to 5 years and ends on the 31st august after the child's 5th birthday for delivering EYFS. However once an EYFS child is in full time education, they no longer count as under 5 for calculating your numbers: they count as under 8, so you can increase by 1 the number you have under 5...

You are usually allowed a maximum of 6 under 8 yrs. If you have a child of your own under 8 that child will count in your numbers, even if they are not present in your setting.
Of your total of 6 children, only 3 of them can be under 5. Out of these 3 children, only one can be under a year old.

I don't think I've exlained that very well: hopefully some one else will :thumbsup:

bws,
Wendy :)

Yes , - and from your daughters birthday ( or actually when you get new cert) you can have 6 under 8years , still 3 of those between 0 and 5.
