Certificate arrived- not happy!

[braichey]

I finally recieved my cert today. Mrs o said u would have 6 as a maximum but on my cert it stated 4 under 8 of which only 1 can be early years of which 1 can be under 1.
I have two of my own children 4 and 2yeras so that's my early years filled already an If I only have two spaces left for non early years, over 5 then that's two before and after school so it's not worth me doing at all!!
I already look after a friends 1 y old for free so I can't do that anymore by the looks of it.
Think I may have to have a chat with good old ofsted to clarify this. My house isn't small and mrs o said said 6 so maybe they got it wrong, what are the chances?!
Arghhh!

no it does sound right, your own children are taken into account with your numbers, and as you have 2 under 5 already ( your own) then you will have 1 left- however when your 4 year old attends full time school it frees up another place.

I thought the amount on your cert was NOT including your own children??

Ok, panic over, just spoke to ofsted who said number stated on cert doesny include my two so that would be 6 max. Phew!!! I do feel daft now! Sorry everyone!!!

Don't worry, I did exactly the same a couple of years ago
