Hi all ,
I would really appreciate any help here - do 'possible sleeping children' allow an under 2's room to be over ratio?
I visited a new nursery that I absolutely adore, however at one of the visits there were 7 children with 2 staff. On the board, there were 3 children's names written under 1 member of staff, then 4 children written under the other. I queried with the manager and she said usually one child would be asleep so its ok. I said but they're all awake right now? She said the staff know to ring through to her if they are ever off ratio and she will pop in as she is counted in the ratio even though shes in the office.
Is this correct? I have read EYFS guidelines saying 1-3 but I've also read 'unofficially' that as long as the ratio is correct across the entire building meaning staff can move around if necessary then its ok.
Many thanks in advance!! Rachel x
