I am asking for a friend childminder.
She currently has a little boy 3 days a week and his mum has just had a baby. The mum obviously wants the childminder to have both children 3 days per week from Sept but it will just be for 6 months as she has to pay back her maternity IYSWIM.
The childminder will be over her numbers for 2 of the days from approximately 8-2 and wondered if she would qualify for a variation under the continuity of care rule?
Any help or info greatly appreciated, also how does she go about applying and what things should she put in letter etc.
TIA
