2 Or 2.5

I don't know to be honest, but I have worked in mixed age settings with both 2 and 2 and a half year olds, so I would assume that there isn't a right or wrong age?? Not 100% sure though!

I'm registered for 52 with know more than 26 being under 3. so I can have up to 26 2.5 years in with my 3/4 year olds. We do have times when they are separate like drinks toilet circle times, but general play part they are together. the older ones loo after the little ones.

Does your wording on your registration tell you anything.

We are in a portacabin and are registered to take from 2 years old.

We do not have any 2 year olds on our books as we try to take them at 2 1/2 years old, due to the fact they will be in the same room as the older children.

I think OFSTED only issue registrations from 2 years rather than 2.5 now. We used to stick very strictly to 2.5 years, but when this change came in we found we were losing most of our waiting list to other settings taking them from 2, so we've loosened up a little. We just think very carefully about the ratio for under 3s in any context, but that isn't any different whether they are 2 or 2.5.
