Normally they will only grant a variation for continuation of care or for sibling care not new business iyswim.

Its all about how you word it, you could say you had signed contracts with twins when nephews mum asked you to change days or something like that.

Whatever you say, you need to either write a letter/fax or email but if you email it must have a scanned signiture on it.

Yo wil need to tell them the ages/dates of birth of all children and what times they attend allong with how you feel you are able to meet all their needs, physical and emotional.

Make the letter as detailed as possible, including what equipment/resourses you can offer etc.

hope that helps a little im very tired so i will think some more x
