hi,

im registered for 1 under 5 and 2 over 5 and have contacted a parent on childcare.co.uk who is looking for care 1 day in june and 2 weeks in august.

i have the space at the moment (newly reg), however i have interest from a friend for full time in july. would i be able to take this on and apply for a variation after the initial day in june for august?

No reason why not - the worst Ofsted can do is say no.

My very first mindee came under a variation as she was under 1, and DD was still under 1 too.

Thats what i thought too, though would i need to explain this to the parent?

I think there is a section on the variation request form where you do have to state that parents are aware of the situation. I would go for it and see what happens.

i would say you might get it but as this is a temporary job you might not. they are reluctant to grant a variation for new business and 1 day in June might mean they class the august dates still as new business.

You don't have to but it would not be very professional not to seeing as you know you can't do all the dates she wants without a variation (which you may not get).

worst case, tell the parent's of the second child, that you may not be able to work said days in august.
