2 teachers and 2 teaching assistants for our 60 Reception children.

Technically its 1:30 (if a qualified teacher) - in reality this is chaotic and dangerous so at least 1 ta in addition

Yes, 1 teacher to 30 children is legal, but really poor.
Commonly there will be 1 Teacher and 1 TA, but more and more schools are having to except various hours sneaking in when they don't have a TA.... maybe an hour here and there to begin with.
Totally impossible to sustain, but it is what Reception teachers sometimes end up with.
