    Ok my understanding is you can have 6 children to care for under the age of 8 in total of which 3 can be within the early years age group (0-5) although only one of those 3 can be under 12 months.

    Does that help? Hope so.

    You say your children are under 8 but how old are they? As this does affect your numbers
    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    I think she said she had 2 over 8, which does not effect her numbers. You are allowed 3 under 5, ( only 1 of these can be under 1) and 3 over 5. Over 8's do not count towards your numbers. Good luck!

    Although you do have to be able to demonstrate that care of over 8s won't have a negative impact on the under 8s.

    So if I put 1 for 0-1

    2 for 1 to 4
    3 for 4 for 8

    Total 6

    Don't mean I will have that amount but I may as well apply for max numbers?
