Guest Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi Can anyone tell me, is it O K (with Ofsted) to put one 2 year old with two 0 to 2yrs and have one member of staff at all? never? If so when? We had this discussion to day and could not agree Thank you Rosina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anita.kennedy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi I am not sure about the under twos as we only have 2,3,4 year olds but when ofsted came into us they made it clear that we are not to mix our two year olds with our three year olds. So we have to ahave a member of staff for one two year old and one for the three year olds. Hope this makes sence and is of some use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Sorry, realized I have put this in the wrong forum Thank you Anita for the reply What I think I am asking is Can a child go down agroup for say, staff at lunch or staff being poorly ect thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Pretty sure you can go down a group but as your child is 2 then moving to a 0-2 room is still within the age range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 We have all our 2,3 and 4 year olds together with a ratio of 1 adult for up to 4 under 3s and 1:8 for the rest. Don't know about younger. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Anita, when you say that you were told not to mix your 2 and 3 year olds, what do you mean exactly? We have a room for 2-5s so no chance of keeping them apart! And all staff work with all children, although the correct ratios are always maintained within the room obviously. Just a bit confused!

I think she meant mix ratios rather than the children themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
