CM Club: Numbers help needed

Hi to all you lovely ladies and gents out there!

My certificate states that I can mind 5 children under 8, of which 2 may be under 5 and 1 under 1. My own dd is going to school in Sept so i presume my number ratio will rise to three under five? or will I have to wait until dd is 5 before i can take another mindee?

It is soooo confusing??

Your DD dosnt count as 5 till she is at school full time, ie 10 sessions a week, and I think you then need to inform Ofsted to have your certificate changed.

You definitely need to contact Ofsted (in writing) to get your certificate changed. You can't just have another child without their say-so.
