Only have one mindee (2 yrs) for 13hrs a week. From September I'll be having his baby brother and his older brother (5 Yr old) as mum will be going back to work for 2 days (she hopes). Now have an enquiry to look after a (1 yr old) and a(3 yr old) from September. It would mean 5 children under the age of 8yrs old.
So that will be 4 under 5yrs old and one is a baby (sibling of existing mindee). Do I need to contact Ofsted for permission? Or just prove that I can look after them all. It would only be in the afternoons when I would have all of them and it may only be on one day.
The existing 2yr old and the new 3 yr old will be at pre-school in the mornings and the 5 yr old would only be for two hours at most.
Never had to think about this before. And they will ALL be boys!
