    Default Ratios...aarrgghh!!!

    The parents of the 4 year old I mind have asked if I'll have her during school holidays.

    She wont turn 5 until May 2009. If my other two under-5s places are full, does that mean I wont be able to take on a another under-5 when she's with me?

    If that's the case, I wont be able to have her because I'd in effect be losing a possible full-time place to provide holiday cover.

    If she's attending ten early education sessions a week (in other words full time school) then she can be moved into your 5 to 8 numbers and won't affect your under fives
