AnonyMouse_3139 Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Hi, can anyone tell me why a nursery has a ratio of 1:13 and a playgroup has a ratio of 1:8 for 3/4 yr olds? I'm confused!
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Not sure myself...think it's something to do with the Daycare Standards and the leading Act - you know, Education or Children..? Am I talking rubbish? Sooner it's all sorted and equalised, the better - but, don't you know, there'll be less adults!!!!!!!!! Sue
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 I'm sure your not talking rubbish Sue, documentation does that for us!!!
Guest Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 is it because there's a teacher (QTS) in charge of the state nursery? well if you havn't ogt a nursery unit many 4 year olds go into a class of 1:30 in reception. Its only now that schools are providing teachers in reception with the TA cover they need. It si recemmended thtat reception ratio (unofficially) is best maintained at 1:15 but that is recc best practise.and not everyone gets this cover.
AnonyMouse_2157 Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 Leo you area star thanks for making time to help me out (and my friend, who the querie was for in the first place!) If this doesnot persuade her as to the benefits of the forum then she's crackers Liza
