As a setting we have always had some children 2, some 3, some 4 up to maximum of 28 in one room. If we had 3 2 years olds we would work 1-4 ratio then for the remaining 24 older children 1-8 ratio - total 4 staff. Reading the new EYFS no mention of a change to mixed age ratios in pre-schools. Today I have just received a copy of PLA publication "Getting to Grips with the EYFS and on page 36 it states that mixed age children in one room where there are 2 year olds should have 1-4 ratio! If this is the case how can pre-school afford to run with 7 members of staff every session? Now only week to start of term!

I'm currently wading through all the setting paperwork - As everyone else no doubt! and thought I would upload this if it's any help to anyone - anything to lighten the load lol. I know I have saved lots of time by altering forms etc that I've found on here so thought it was time to give some back lol. If it's of some use please feel free to use it, if it's not ....... well don't use it lol! EY Shared care information sheet.doc

I have tried searching but have been unsuccessful in finding a Equal Ops Policy written in line with the new EYFS. Can anyone point me in the right direction. We do currently have one but I am not happy that it covers everything required.

hi, i have just been doing some reading around the new requirements. The new framework emphasises the need for practitioners to be alert to inappropriate behaviour displayed by other people in their team or other adults working with children. does anybody have any thing which includes information and examples regarding this aspect that they would like to share.

hi!! I know I am not alone out there in the dark place that is the policy review but wondered if anyone can give me a heads up on policy on disciplinary action and its format, we have references to it in policy but no actual timetable thingy, am thinking it should be clearer esp in light of the new eyfs disqualification section and especially now that i think i need to include 3.15. wish the sun would shine! ta!! :1b
