I care for 4 early years children all part tme so they are all here for between 2 and 3 days, however one of the children needs an extra day but it is on a day when I already have 3 children. I have space under the no more than 6 under 8s rule as although i look after 2 under 8s and my own 6 yr old after school, 3 of the 1 yr olds leave at 3. I have the space, all the children know each other from other days so I am confident I can cope with the variation and all parents are happy for me to do so. My problem is in the school holidays I would have 7 under 8s if all children are here. My husband is self employed and my dad works from home so they are both happy to take my son so I am within ratio, but I am still worrying that Ofsted wouldn't accept this.
