Now that Government has seen sense, is another campaign needed?
Ratio is done for the nursery as a whole, not on a per room basis. There is provision within the regulations for children to be out of sight, or out of hearing range of staff for ratio purposes. This can mean that children in one room are actually falling under care of a staff member in another room.
Should that be tightened up, so that staff have to physically be with ALL the children in their allocated ratio?
EYFS did see some clarification, such as saying that staff had to be actively working with children, not cleaning or on a lunch break.
Providers, parents... What are your feelings on this? Does your nursery apply ratio as per room - many do but some don't.
