4 year old's in school

Sorry if this has been asked loads of times, couldn't find it on a search.

My dd turns 5 in Feb & is in full time school from Sept. I know she's classed as an over 5 from Sept but is this just during school hours or after school aswell & school holidays? or out of school hours is she classed as being under 5?

Thanks

She is classed as a 5yr old for the purposes of your registered no.s once she attends school full time ....this includes after school and holidays

Thanks. That means I can take on a 5month old baby full time from Sept

be careful because I know where we live the new schoolers only go part time until half term so you wouldn't be able to take the baby until then if that is the same with you

That's the same where I live too

if the baby needs to start in September ...you could apply for a variation for a few weeks...you may be lucky

Thanks for the advice. I think they start full time in Sept, I'm not sure though. I'll ask when I pick dd up from nursery.

If not hopefully I'll be able to get a variation. I used to be the baby's older sister's keyworker & know the family very well so hopefully it shouldn't be a problem.
