AnonyMouse_1999 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Just wonder if any of you clever lot can clarify what a 'suitable level 6 qualification ' is in relation to staff:child ratios. I understand it's 1:4 for the 2's and 1:8 for the 3's & 4's. I was just reading that if you have a QTS, EYP or someone with Early Years Teacher Status present for most of the time the ratio can be 1:13. This section also says 'or another suitable Level 6 qualification'. Not that i want to use 1:13 but wonder if a BA(HOns) in Early Years would meet the criteria?? Thanks in advance
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 No a BA does not automatically allow you to have a 1:13 ratio. It depends on the uni and what is included in their qualification. We queried this and were told only those that include EYTS or equivalent
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 When I had my registration visit the inspector said I could list my myself as L6- but couldn't have the 1.13 ratio.
AnonyMouse_1999 Posted September 3, 2020 Author Posted September 3, 2020 Thank you both so much - it's what i thought. I just couldn't find any clarification of what counts as a 'suitable level 6' - spent ages looking on various lists too!! Thank you again x
