has anything been decided about the 4/5year old rule for EYFS yet?

[chloemegjess]

Hello. I have had an enquiry about a 4 year old who is at full time school I know at the moment, the rules can class this child as an over 5. But I know this was questioned in the EYFS a while ago...Does anybody know if anything has been decided?

I wouldn't want to take her on (before/after school) if she is to take up one of my under 5 spaces, as I can only have 2 under 5s as my DD is under 1. But if she classes as an over 5, this would be fine.

Anybody know?

NCMA have not updated their news page about this as yet (checked today, 23-July-08).

Thank you. Its so silly, as I don't know who I am allowed to take on!

I am a CM with a 4 y/o that is about to start school in Sept, and I have just written to Ofsted to ask for my numbers to be changed. They have phoned and said that is fine, so I can take on an another under 5 from Sept.

I had an email through saying that yes they will go up into the rising 5 bracket

so my dd 4 end aug will go up so I can have 3 under 5's from Sept 3rd (day she starts school!)

yeah will try find something to back this up

found it!! on this site here
