It will depend on how many kids you are allowed.

Better to sit and write down who you have on what days and it makes better sence that way when you can see it in front of you.

From reading though I think you should be all right.

Glad to hear you're so busy! My certificate says I can have 6 under 8 no more than 3 under 5, if yours is the same you should be ok.
But I agree with Fionamal write down who you will have on what days.

Yes that's the right thing to do... they should change that fairly quickly... well, you never know

The other thing is to get an idea of exactly how much you will be needed with this part-timer. It will be very hard all round if you mind for a while, then stop, then start again - the child will be confused and you will have a hard time with EYFS and all the planning / obs etc that is going to be expected...

Good luck and fingers crossed

just a update had my hands full today !!! the 10 month came at 10 am he cried for 1/2 hour then we had to go and pick up another mindee from pre-school he was fine then came home he cried soon as we walked into the house i managed to get some lunch down him and me he cried when the other child went out the room! We had to walk to school this afternoon and pick up another 3 mindees and my girls (7) all together the 10 month went home at 3.45 twin fell asleep on the settee! then another went home 5pm twins went home 5.30 that just left 1 he was late leaving (can't charge extra he's family) so i'm knackered now

YES I overlapped not realizing as my hubby had my dd and someone reported me (I was reg in scotland, old ss way, so reg for 6,very confusing!!)

It's awful having to tell parents, but TBH they laugh and say how sad it is my own hubby can;t look after his own child
