I personally didn’t realise that it’s perfectly acceptable to have nursery children in a room with only one qualified early years worker in, and any remaining unqualified staff like 2 apprentices or lunch cover - as long as the ratios are met… 1 adult to 3 babies 😮 (changing one and two are crying?!), 1 adult to 5 children who are age two, 1 adult to 8 age 3 and up unless you are a qualified teacher when you can have 13.
And that “From 1st September 2025, all early years providers must have at least one staff member with current paediatric first aid (PFA) certification on-site at all times when children are present.”
It’s fine to have only one first aider on site with all these preschoolers, toddlers and babies in multiple rooms…. It’s shocking.
It’s so scary thinking about choking and there potentially being only one certified first aider on site, let alone any other emergency… I don’t know how this is allowed.
