I have my husband registered as my assistant, he has peadiatric cert and I have just written off requesting that he can be left with mindees for school run etc so jst awaiting a reply! that bit sorted
He is registering himself and has pre reg tomorow morning!
Ok so paperwork first! I have a raising concerns policy , what other paperwork do I need for him, do I need to record his hours , if so would Ofsted be happy if I have something printed ready to start using now as we havnt been doing that.
secondly numbers ! on my reg certificate it says
may care for no more than 4 children under 8; of these, not more than 1 may be in the early years age group, and of these, not more than 1 may be under 1 year at any time.
When working with an assistant , may care for no more than 6 children under 8 , not more than 4 may be in the early years group, and of these not more than 2 may be under 1 year at any time.
I have 2 children myself which are in the early years age range, and I know that the nmbers above are aswell as my own 2.
one of my own children goes to preschool every morning, this is when I go to toddler groups , when I first registered my husband, I was taking 1 of my own children and 2 mindees to the groups, but my husand was coming with me because I had more than 1 mindee (which is all im alloud by myself).
Hope this is making sense!
Anyway I was at one of the groups and all the other childminders said that I didnt have to bring husband because of the numbers it says 'when working with an assistant' and I still wasnt over the 3;1 ratio.
Is this right ????
As its his pre reg tomorow I was going to take 3 little ones to children centre but worried that i may not be alloud to do this..... help?
