I hope I explain thi correctly. My DS goes to a little pre-school where they have at least one child with a 1-2-1 worker each day, for various SN. The leader has just explained to me that when working out their adult-child ratios they don't have to count the child with the 1-2-1 worker (which seems fairly reasonable to me) but also that they can count the 1-2-1 adult in their adult numbers, thu allowing them to have more children because she's there, which doesn't seem reasonable. surely if she's there because there's a child who needs 1-2-1 care, she can't also be responsible fopr other kids?
my son isn't SN, but I'm keen that they have plenty of adults to look after their children. I understand that the 1-2-1 adults interact with the other children.
I rwally don't want to rock the boat, so if this isn't officially right can anyone suggest an approach to query / challenge it.
thanks for letting me post here!
