Providing the references are sequential then you will quote the full reference for the first comment and (ibid) for the second.

so in my list basially id have both? exact same? one after the other? its two quotes from the same web page. a few paragraphs apart x

sorry for being dumb i am crap at this lol x
Yes, if the reference to quote 2 follows directly from that to quote 1 and is on the same page, then you cite the full reference to quote 1 then just cite "ibid" for quote two, which tells the reader that the reference is to be found in the same place as the previous one.
I would just put it once so, e.g. in text "Children's social development is important" (DCSF, 2008) then "Children need to play to learn" (DCSF, 2008)
Then in reference list- DCSF (2008) The Early Years Foundation Stage, London: DCSF [Online] Available at Web address here. Accessed on: 12.04.11
Theres no point putting it twice unless there's page numbers which there isn't on web pages
That's the way I've always done it anyway and my referencing hasn't usually been faulted
When i was doing references for my biology coursework I put numbers next to the things I'd sourced. In the bibliography, I put the number then the page on the website/ book and author and date. If there was one thing i got two bits of info from then i just put the number twice in the text and once in the bibliography.
-- answer removed --
With Harvard referencing you don't use numbers, either in the text or in the reference list, others are obviously different.
