I have had an enquiry about looking after a little boy who is already 5 but not yet at school full time. It would be monday to thursday, collect at 12pm from school and have till 5.30pm. He is from a town nearby but Mum has been let down by her current childminder and is desperate.
I can only help her if he is considered in the 5 - 8 bracket. I have spoken to some childminders at school. Some think as he is 5 then he is in the 5 - 8 bracket but another childminder said that because he is not yet at school fulltime he is in under 5 group.
What does everyone else think?
I have asked Mum to call me back tomorrow after I have researched this!
