I would imagine so Gem, though I suppose that's for individual minders depending on whether the families get help / tax credits etc.
I think the more pressing problem is what to do about ratios - Ofsted are going to be bombarded with requests for variations.
One of the main problems is not going to be the usual holidays but inset days, closures for bad weather etc which will catch minders and parents unawares ... I'm not sure how Ofsted will work these out when there are thousands of different requests during the year.
As Lucy says, now is the time to complain, before eyfs is ratified for Sept... someone told me today, it's less than 90 days away !
