Depending on space and with your little one at full time school you'll be able to have three under five and three five to eight. Total of 6. Plus over 8's if you like!!
Think that's right!

From September when your youngest starts school full time you would, if you were allocated the full minding allowance be able to care for 6 children under the age of 8, including your own, 3 of which can be under 5 and of those 3 normally only one under 1 year.
A lote will depend upon how much room you have in your home to mind.

As long as you have adequate space you should be allowed 3 under 5 yrs and 2 between 5-8yrs.
