Ratios and 5 yo clarification
Well I am still waiting for my inspections it will be 3 months exactly in 2 weeks :panic:
anyway as I am worrying about kids moving up and kids leaving for mat leave i was speakign to my friend and she rang the merthyr office {our new which has relocated from pontypool} to ask for clarification on the ratios and whether they are keeping the 4 as 5 yo as there has been some change etc, and no they are keeping it that they HAVE to be 5 to be classed as 5 even if they are full time!!....My daughter has just turned 4 {aug} and is now doing the staggered intake til thursday for reception where she will be full time....my shiftworker is 4 btu will be 5 in oct {end of} i dont have him back until 12th but he will be straight into full time from monday....he is only before and after school apart from hols, I have 1 full timer and 1 3 full days...but i am losing out now as mum is only paying b&a school rates but is obvisouly still classed as under 5 and using space...he finishes in jan when mum is on mat leave but he may be back oct or jan :rolleyes: and with sibling...who I may/maynot be able to take now due to ratios.
I'm not best pleased now, my friend did ask this inspector she spoke to about other people being allowed elsewhere not under caerphilly but she said it's to do with other inspectors......it should be across the board or not at all.
