This is a totally hypothetical question at the moment as I don't have any childminding kids at the moment but........
At the weekends I provide respite care for a 14year old with Downs Syndrome, contracted by social services absolutely nothing to do with childminding. Yesterday her Mum asked if I could do school holidays, which she would pay for. I mentioned that I thought I would have to check with Ofsted and Mum got upset as she is over 8 and therefore would not count in my numbers.
I plan on doing a hard advertising push for childminding over the next couple of weeks so could have people by half term, but would Ofsted be ok with me having a disabled older kid and childminding kids?
