Hi,
Am new to this forum :-)
I'm just about to send my application to register with Ofsted and just wanted to clarify something I read on a previous thread.
I have 2 under 5's of my own who both go to a childminder one day a week.
I had intentions of keeping this going as a) they both love it there and b) I anticipated that this might be one day a week that I could have three paying EYFS children.
On the rare occasion that my childminder could not have my 2 (it's not happened yet!) it would obviously mean that I would be over my quota.
On such an occasion, If my husband, fully DBS checked, took a day off work to be home for my two only (and any activities I had planned outdoors did not factor in my two), would this be acceptable to Ofsted do you think? I'm looking at it from the basis that we are both working and one of us would have had to take a day off in such instance in any case but it so happens that my work is at home.
Does that makes sense? I'm obviously not going to do anything that would jeopardise my registration and will clarify all this with Ofsted at the registration visit but helps to have a bit of an understanding in advance!
I'm finding some of this a bit of a minefield!
Thanks
