ok theres been loads of threads on here about numbers, so I was under the impression when a child starts full time school, ie reception then they moved to your age 5 group whether 4 or 5?

so I have a 4 year old who turned 5 yesterday, i assumed she was out of early years group because she was in reception ( more than ten hours)

just looked at my certificate and right at the bottom it says
'Early years group ends on the august 31st after 5 birthday' :panic:

so i have 2 year old PT
3 year old 2 days
and 5 year old who hasn't reached august this year?
so i can't take any others on?

I thought she was out of this group? as shes in full time school?

For the purpose of numbers they are 5 when they are in reception full time.

For the purpose of doing EYFS you have to do that until end of August reception year.

If she is in full time education she is moved to your 5yr age group:thumbsup:

thanks that bit i get

I'm just confused as it says can't have more than 3 in the early years group

then at the bottom the group finishes at the end of august following birthday???
