Hi. I have a 12 month old daughter who is obviously included in my early years age bracket. My certificate states that i can look after [B]4[B]children under 8 years. No more than 2 may be in the early years age group.
I currently look after another baby who is 12 months (this has been okayed by Ofsted) so she takes one of these spaces. I've been approached to look after a little boy in September who is 4 but will be starting school (rising 5?). Once he's at school full time does he count in my early years age bracket - for example can I therefore look after another little one? Would I be able to look after another rising 5 (a 4 yr old who is in full time education)?
I find the rising 5 bit complicating!
If someone can clarify this for me please?
Thanks in advance
