    Default Omg quickest variation?

    Can't beleive it!
    Requested a variation for us to have an extra in our early years group and didn't think they would grant it as we will then have 2 under 1, 2x12 months, 2x15 months and a 18 month old.

    Requested it on Thursday afternoon and it was granted on Friday am, not even 24 hrs later.

    Can anyone beat this?

    2 adults, you just have to be organised and keep them busy.
    All just gone to bed and will have to be woken at 3. All our kids are good sleepers and would nap till tea time if we let them lol

    I submitted on at 4ish last Friday, had a call at 5ish on Friday and had my new cert emailed to me with all my requests granted, at 2pm on Monday. So nearly as quick! They must all be in a good mood in the Variarions office at the moment
