Hello there am wondering if anyone can answer this question. Does the number of children on my certificate include my own children? I registered to have an assistant working with me, this has increased my numbers.

kind regards

I don't think so, my numbers don't include my own children, extra numbers for assistants can be influenced by space availability too though!

Thanks Jen, I have been given 6 children when working with an assistant to which only 4 can be in the early years range. However I have twins that are 3 which is why I was hoping it didnt inlcude my own children

I am registered for 6 children but this includes my own. I don't have an assistant though. My husband is registering too so we cna be a partnership. This will be handy in case I need to go out before mindees picked up (as long as still within numbers each of us can mind on our own). Also we are going to look after two children on a Saturday which will require 2 adults as we will have 4 under primary school age.

No they don't count - if they did you certficate would say 6 under 5
