According to the ratios and the exceptions if the mum on maternity leave hasnt left your care ie terminated your contract while on maternity leave she can return in theory.
However 5 eyfs for one person is very hard work and ofsted wont tell you what you can or cant do it HOWEVER they will judge you on how you are managing the variation. So if they deem you are not managing the 5 children well they will grade you according.
You would have to think how you would get about how you would plan the different activities so all the children are progressing.
Also if you have any other children if it takes you to more that 6 under 8 then its a no even with continuity of care
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door
