[Lorina]

Scenario 1:

Yes, you're on the right track.... Until then I think you can provide emergency care for those children until you get the approval from the government of changing the number of children on the license. Contact http://www.acecqa.gov.au/ for more information and you can check Centrelink for the family to receive financial support.

Scenario 2:
You could explain the routine to Ella and why there is a routine in the first place.You could also explain that the routine is part of school readiness.

Scenario 3:
Yes, talk to Steve about shadowing the biter to try and resolve this issue and staff are aware of the situation etc.

Please remember to attempt all questions to receive support...

Hope this helps,
