i've read the advice sheet for using an assistant, and it says that an over 8 yr old may leave the childminding setting with an assistant (with parental permission) but that is the only mention of over 8's!
i know my assistant can do the school run with 5-8's, as long as i am at home when they/she are home, my assistant can also have the under 5's with her whilst doing the school run (we do the school run together, but i stop to drop a child off at piano, and she continues on towards home with her own children and my DD, and sometimes an under 5) all with parental permission of course.
one of my after schoolers has now turned 8! what i am wondering is ... can i leave him at home with my assistant and the 3 under 5's whilst i take the rest with me to collect child from piano? ( taking 5 mins max. ) i would get parental permission, but it would make life slightly simpler if i could!
if any of that has made sense to you, and you know that answer! thank you!
