Childminders going over their numbers
Last Friday I took the children on an outin to the local farm. I was suprised at how many childminders I saw and spoke with, that were over their numbers! Not siblings either! Some had 5 under 5. Just wondering how common this is. I think a lot of childminders think, now they can take on as many as they want and do not understand they just can not. Then again, I did hear from one ofsted inspector, who said the biggest complaint Ofsted had against childminders, was going over numbers. Would be interested to know if any one knew of childminders doing this!
