I have had some discussions today with NCMA and CSSIW about the fact that the allowance for us to class 4 year olds who are in full time school as over 5 which has been removed from the National Minimum Standards.
NCMA Cymru are taking it up with CSSIW but my own CSSIW office have confirmed that it is an error that it is not included!!! Apparently it was on the draft document that was agreed but never quite managed to make it on to the finished product. They have a few of these mistakes which means there will be some updates to the NMS when they work out what they all are. This has been confirmed by the Team Manager for North Wales.
Anyway I am now quite happy I am not working illegally by classing my 4 yr old ds as 5
My booked First Aid course that should have run over the next 2 Saturdays has also been amended to 1 Saturday now the requirement for 12 hour paediatric first aid has been removed. I do hope this is not something they change and then I have to re-do it
I am attending a meeting with CSSIW on 16th May so if anyone has anything else they would like clarification on let me know and I will ask.
