do you think ofsted would give permission for a variation for 5 under 5, where one child is at preschool, making it 4 under 5 with me, and then, within 30 minutes of picking that child up and getting home, one of the other 4 is collected, taking me back to 4 under 5?
ie - ABCD arrive at 8am. A goes to preschool at 9am. E arrives 10am. collect A 12.00midday, E collected 12.30pm
i already have a variation for 4 under 5, but it looks like everyone will want a tuesday morning come april, and i have a sibling starting! :panic:
i'm starting to go a little bit mad trying to work out all my ratios, but i think it is do-able every other day (as long as i have 4 under 5 variation!)
just a thought...if i don't charge mum whilst child A is at preschool, and therefore don't have him 'on my books' and see if i could pick him up at 12.30, would that work? maybe still asking for 12.30-12.40 to have 5, to cover me, rather than a general 5 under 5 thing?
