Advice for Variation for siblings please???

[Mummyto2xx]

hi i have never posted on mums net before but i am a keen member and love reading all your views and adice you all give, :)

i was just wundering if anyone could please give me some advice on best ways to apply for a variation for siblings on one afternoon a week for 1 hour (and also training days if possible)
as the school the child attends has decided as from next term they will be changing there friday finish time to a earlier time,

i have bee told that if i email ofsted i will need to scan my signiture and attach it it my email can anyone tell me if this is true please?

would be grateful if anyone could offer any advice on this please and help me decide which is the best way to contact ofsted regarding this and also if you think that ofsted are likely to offer em a variation for this thanks again look forward to hearing from you all soon :)

If you look on the Ofsted website there is a specific form you have to fill in to request for variations. It requires you to fill in a grid showing the children cared for (inc any of your own) and times and then various bits asking you how you will meet the chn's needs, any extra equip required etc. You used to be able to email a copy with a scanned signature but not sure if that's still the case.
It also depends on the ages of the children, youyr own chn and how many you are already registered for. You can only apply for up to 4 in the Early years age group Inc your own) & a max of 6 under 8 (again inc your own)
