Hi everyone

If you have your own children are these counted in your minded numbers or are they on top? If that makes any sence

Your registration certificate will show the number of children you can look after in each age group excluding your own children.

A childminder can usually look after 6 children under the age of 8...

Of these 3 children can usually be under 3... and 1 under 1.

So, if you have a baby of your own, that's your under 1 space taken and your certificate will tell you that.

If you have a toddler, you can take on a baby, but you will lose an under 5 space on your certificate.

Does that make sense?

I agree with Sarah

I think it is 6 under 8 but if your own are under 8 they will be taken off prior to your certificate being sent.
