Example letter and form to inform parents about the new exceptions

[Penny1959]

Can I also ask about using assistants. I have two assistants so am covered at all times during the working day, and had an increase in numbers to 4 under 5 when working with either of them. Can I now increase my numbers without having to apply for a variation one I've measured space, ra etc and spoken to parents? I have one child whose parent keeps asking when I'm going to expand so her son can come more hours.

In theory - yes

However you will need to ensure that meeting all the requirements of EYFS - and any local planning rules

Assistants are cover by 3.41 and there is guidance about assistants in the ofsted document
