confused about ratios

[donnamarie2]

Hi, Can anyone help i have 3 children of my own and on my reg cert it says no more than 3 under 8 of these not more than 2 in early years group and of these none may be 1 year at any time.
Im confused by the 1 year old bit as i was led to believe you could only have 1 child under 1?
I'm asking as ive had an enquiry for a child who is 5 months older than my youngest (14months) so does this mean i wouldnt be able to have them?
Thanks

how old was your youngest when the certifcate was produced? it could be that your child was the 1 that you are allowed under 1 ifswim

I would give Ofsted a call, it would seem that your own little one was under 1 when you first applied, the onus is on us to get in touch and ask them to amend when a child moves into another age group.

I think it means that you can have a total of three minded children aswell as your own children.

Two of those minded three children can be aged over 1 year and up to 5 years and 1 can be aged over 5years up to 8 years, but you cannot take babies or children under 1 year this will probably be because of the age of your own children how old are your children by the way?

Hope this helps

Thanks for that ive just rung ofsted and it was a mistake they had missed out the under part for my under1 .
My kids are 1 , 6& 7 it just threw me when it said only 1 1year old !
