Agency staff

Helping my best friend find a nursery for her LO.
She really liked one but there are at present only 4 permanent staff and the rest agency. When she did a headcount she worked out that there must have been about 7 agency staff there and apparently this is a daily thing.
Is this a widespread issue or normal? My kids are a bit older but it was only really on the very odd occasion that their nursery used agency staff.

How do you know the agency staff are not qualified ?

We asked. Some were but the majority were not. Presumably, they have enough qualified staff to meet the requirements but the amount of unqualified staff was shocking. That and it changes everyday so the children can't get familiar with anyone
