I caught the tail end of an item on radio 5 live driving home from work yesterday.
They said, as of September all staff working in Nurseries (or did they say EYFS settings?) have to have a GCSE grade C (or equivalent) in both maths and English to be counted in their staffing ratios.
How does that work if you are say, 50 years old with 30 years pre school experience, but only a CSE grade 2 in maths? Are these rules only for new staff? If so, does that mean said '50 year old' could not change job?
Very confused and worried for nursery recruitment.
I am a EYFS teacher and know that ratios in Reception classes are 1 teacher to 30 children, so my TAs qualifications do not affect our ratios. I am more worried for our nursery unit.
