I was under the impression that the ratios on your registration certificate includes your own children, but after a conversation with someone it seems theirs doesnt. Does anyone have experience of this?

You must count your own children in your numbers

No the numbers displayed on the certificate don't include your own children BUT has already taken account of them

mine states 5 under 8's at any one time

This used to be 4 as my daughter was under 8, it will soon be 6 as my son turns 8.

the numbers on your certificate is the amount you can mind for ASWELL as your own children.
