Hi Everyone
Sorry to ask such a silly question but it has been bothering me for a while- are 8 year olds included in your numbers?

thats NOT always true :thumbsup:

i care for 2 8 yr olds, 1 9 yr old and a 10 yr old and they never complain they are bored, we have set activities each night, mainly board games and they love it :thumbsup: also helps them with their vocab skill and negotiation skills :D :laughing:

You don't need to plan for 6+ either - yippee

Keep in mind that Ofsted will look at how to accomodate EYFS registered children when you have over 8's.
