Hi all

I know Looneytune has just asked similar question but I am still not sure...

I have four year old mindee about to start after nursery/school care with me - mindee attends nursery 5 days per week from 9am - 3pm - will mindee be viewed as a rising 5 ?
Mindee starts in reception in September 07...

Thanks in advance...

Oh god, you all had me worried then as although my enquiry was for school and not nursery, I thought that 10 sessions was 10 sessions, regardless of nursery or school

Ok so my mindee who is with me full time but as I am accredited is the same as if she was at nursery full time i.e 10 sessions a week, 5 paid on the nursery grant is counted as 5.

What happens in September, when she goes to school mornings only. Does she go back to being 4, or do her afternoons with me count as the other 5 sessions!

Yes it does count if it's full time 5 days per week nursery. Have a look at the guidance notes to the National Standards. It's quite clear.

mindee will count as 5 once they are in full time education 10 sessions per week

this does not count if it is nursery

your mindee will count as over 5 as they will be in reception from sept but only when they attend full time (as i know some schools do mornings/afternoons for a while)

He will in Sept - but not until then
