I have one mindee who started earlier in the year. She's due to start school in Sept, so knew I'd have a space coming up. I had an enquiry for a full time baby, so I've filled the space.
Forgetting all the changes about rising 5's we're not 100% sure on, but mindee has not got into the same school has her sibling. The school I collect from. Her playgroup has told mum that if a space doesn't come up before Sept, then she can carry on going to playschool 5 mornings a week, until a space comes up.
That's all very well for mum & mindee, but it affects my numbers. I will have 3 under 5's, plus her. She's not 5 til next year. My boy will be at playschool 3 mornings a week, little mindee every morning, and this mindee every morning too. Plus a baby.
I don't know if ofsted will give a variation, as I don't know how long it will be for. What if she doesn't get offered a space until the new year...
Don't want to give notice to them, as both kids are lovely, but at the same time I cannot afford to not take on the full timer, as she might be offered a space within weeks...
Arrrrrggggghhhhh - what to do? :panic:
Any bright ideas?
