I'd approach Ofsted and I would hope they would be sympathetic in the circumstances and grant you a variation for 5 under 5.

Good luck and hope your assistant makes a speedy recovery

I have heard of cm have a variation for 5 under 5. Hope things get sorted for you. Sorry not much help.

I hope she feels better soon, I've suffered from the same thing and I hate to tell you this but I was bedridden for 6 weeks and really weak for months.

I hope you get something sorted and I hope your assistant does feel better quickly

Do you know anyone who could step in to help you for a few weeks?

Hugs to your assistant I hope she is feeling better soon xx

oh good, glad you're sorted . Good to hear your assistant is not suffering from glandular fever too: my sister couldn't work for almost 6 months she was so bad with it.

Good luck with all the little ones, now you'll have to make sure you take extra care of yourself: its going to be a tiring few weeks!!

best wishes,
