Just a quick question about rising fives, if they a four year old or a 5 year old still in the early years age group but only attend the setting before and after school then they are considered an over five for the purpose of adult to child ratio or a rising five. My question is what happens in the school holidays? Are they a rising five or an under five.
I have a lady coming on Friday who originally wanted after school care but in the end I turned it down as she wanted no care for 4 weeks, then care for 4 random days 1 week, 4 random days another week and then 2 days the next then back to no care for 4 weeks - I said I would do it if she paid for a full time space after school and she declined. Anyway I then offered school holiday care and a school holiday only contract but I think I've messed up here.
Her daughter is 3, she will be 4 in august and will be starting full time school in September. So, if I have her in the school holidays I assume she counts as under five? If this is the case then I won't be able to do it as she will be using up one of my full time under five spaces in the school holidays :panic:
I hope you tell me I'm wrong because I really don't want to say no to mum again
