I just found out I was pregnant before Christmas - just have a couple of quick questions if anyone can help me?

When baby arrives, I would want to keep my current mindees, but would be over my numbers obviously, what happens with this? Can I get a variation because of continuity of care?

How long should I have off when baby is born?

Eeek! Not sure Im sane enough to have another under 2! :laughing:

Congratulations! :clapping:

You'd need to contact Ofsted nearer the time to ask about variations.

I took a couple of weeks off when I had my children but then I needed to work.

It's down to how everything goes for you at the end of the day... if you have a section you will need at least 6 weeks.

Good luck with everything. :D

Congratulations

I would follow Sarah's advice and contact Ofsted closer to the time. Your circumstances might change below the baby is due.
