I currently teach in a LA school nursery 26 place am /26 place pm. We are in the process of setting up 2 year old provision which I will also oversee. I understand the ratio for 2 year olds is 1:4 and that's fine. I'm now being told I will have possibly 30 children in the 3/4 year old provision but will not get an extra member of staff (me and level 3 TA currently) as we could mix with the 2 year olds and there will be extra staff in the room. My understanding is a ratio of 1:13 would still stand as the extra staff are correctly in ratio with the 2 year olds, am I correct? It's also been put to me that as we are a school infant class size could be applied (1:30) but I'm…

Well the response to the consultation on the reforms to the EYFS has been out a couple of weeks now, along with the revised framework and profile handbook for early adopters. (2020) Here if you haven't seen it yet. I have so many thoughts, sadly most are not especially complementary, but it would be good to hear a range of views here. I like the addition of OFSTED definition of teaching. I still have concerns that shape space and measure will no longer be an ELG, despite it being 'beefed up' a bit in the educational programme. We know from old that frequently, what isn't assessed, isn't taught, or is marginalised as a 'nice extra'. I am especiall…

Hi, I was hoping someone could help. Is the Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, that was Published: 3 March 2017 Effective: 3 April 2017, the most relevant guidance? I have been told by a colleague that the ratio for 2 year olds is 1:6, but I believe that it is 1:4, I was just trying to find out if this was still the case, or if I have missed an update to the ratios. They are talking about having 'older 2year olds' - but I still think they are counted in the 1:4 ratio of 2 year olds, until they are actually 3. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone uses their premises to host their Xmas party- Our guidance is 26 children on the premises at any one time- however, in the past, a party has been hosted at end of term and that can be around 32 children. Is this a complete no-no ? or is this a special one-off event and therefore not deemed a break in the rules? Not sure where to have put this query so hoping someone can help. many thanks Lisa

The new guidance has been released today: Introduction "The early years foundation stage (EYFS) is a statutory framework that sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children from birth to age five develop well and are kept healthy and safe. This framework was extensively consulted on and reviewed in 2010. The current 2017 framework focusses on what matters for a young child’s personal development. The framework is flexible enough to accommodate a range of good early years practice. However, there may be instances where a family is religious or philosophical convictions cannot be reconciled with one or more of the learning and developm…

Good afternoon all, I hope it is lovely and sunny where you are and you are enjoying the lovely weather and are not mystified doing learning journeys like me! I have a query I hope you can help with. I had a child start recently who is in reception class (offer both early years as well as school aged childcare). As I understood it under the 2012 EYFS we needed to complete a Learning Journey for any child in reception class and this then went in 2014 in the revised EYFS. In the 2014 EYFS all we needed to do was to be guided by the learning and development requirements of the EYFS if the child was in reception class and only with us for before/after school/in the sc…
