Can someone help my clarify.
From September ratios and variations.
This is my understanding, from September the general number of children you can have has not increased, if your registered for six it remains at six. How you organize the children you care within the allowed six has changed.
For instance I have two children of my own, one schoolie and one in EYFS so this takes my numbers down to four and allows me to have two more EYFS children and two more schoolies. Should one of my exisitng children decide to change hours or they have a sibling as long as I am able to manage I am able to go over EYFS numbers without a variation but my total number of children must not go over six.
If for instance I already have five children already, three EYFS and two schoolies (including my own children) and I have an enquiry for a 1 year old am I allowed to take it on? I won't be over my allowed six but will be over my EYFS numbers. Do I have to request a variation because its new business?
Also, someone has mentioned to me that our own children don't count in our numbers?
Thank you x
