Looking at nurseries and think we've found one we like. However, on the last visit for the good 15-20 minutes we were there, the toddlers room had 8 toddlers and 2 staff. All under two so should be 3:1. I asked the manager while we were there and she shrugged me off saying it was probably a nappy change. I felt more unhappy and emailed later asking pretty open questions about the situation. Her response was a bit dismissive. One member of staff dealing with nappy, another was uploading learning journals and that they were required to have the correct ratios in the building but staff needed breaks etc. tbh. A bit of a confused answer and certainly not the one I was looking for! Anyway I thought the ratios were important so that the children get the attention they need. To me 1:3 is very different to 1:4. Is this normal practise?
