I've had an enquiry for a 10mth old, 3 days, from Sept.
Think is, I have ds who is 3 in Aug. From Sept he'll be playgroup 3 morns a week.
Mindee A who will also be at playschool the same 3 morns from Sept, & goes at 1pm. (don't have friday's)
And Mindee B, who starts school in Sept, but as B is a summer baby, won't be full time til after Oct half term. (Don't have Thurs)
Not sure what start date, or days, I'm looking at yet, waiting for her to come & see me. But, there's not inset days in the fisrt half term, and after half term B is classed as a 'rising 5' so that's fine.
From 29th Sept, B will be at school am's, so will only be an overlap of at most 1 hour. Then 2 weeks later, B at school til 1, so no overlap...
Sorry if this sounds like a mumbled ramlbing, but what do you think I should do? Don't really want to turn baby away for the sake of a couple of weeks. Also, B is only coming to me as current cm is going on maternity for 6 months. Mum hasn't said whether they're staying with me, or going back to orig cm in Spet, so might not be a prob anyway. Another reason I don't want to turn this enquiry away, as I'll be gutted otherwise. 3 full days is exactly what I want too.
Might write to ofsted saying it's a pm mindee I currently have that wants to increase to full days from Sept, if parent wants me, & try & get a variation for the 6 weeks. It's just, i know I can't do it for her, as I can't do it till baby actually starts with me, and then I don't want ofsted to say no, or be minding over my numbers.
What do you think?
Thanks
