Wondered if anyone know if there's a legal limit to the number of 3-5 year olds allowed per bubble in an EYFS? Our nursery running at 24 kids in one bubble, soon to bring in a further 5! They've maxed out the ratio of staff per child (1 staff per 8 children), so will be bringing in another adult along with the additional 5 kids.
The room doesn't seem big enough. I'll ask them tomorrow exactly what size it is as I know they need to provide 2.3msq per child.
Also, a member of staff told me that they have kids in the room who require 121 attention, which they're not getting. I'm worried that the nursery is struggling to cope, but carrying on regardless.
Would appreciate thoughts. Thank you.
