Children Who Should Have Started School In September But Didn't

Not sure if this is in the right place but here goes. We have a child in our setting who could have gone to school in September but didn't because her mum thought that she wouldn't be able to cope emotionally. I think that it was probably mum who wasn't ready to let her go. This little girl rules the roost at home, she won't go anywhere if she doesn't like the people there. Hence she is with us, not the playgroup in her own village. My question is, 'will she have to legally be in school in the term in which she is 5 which would be the summer term?' If she doesn't will that affect our registration with ofsted? Thanks in advance. Mary

Anyone share any examples when they have done this and exactly what they did. Any input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks x

I've bought some nails with big heads, a small hammer, a little saw with some spare blades (are they called fret saws?), some sandpaper and found a big slice of tree stump (think it was the stand for our christmas tree last year), a large plank and some smaller timber. We will do this as an adult directed activity with one or two children at a time. We haven't got a workbench or a vice though so I thought we would do this in our outside area where we can put it on the grass or tarmac. Please reassure me with some …
