TORO Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 l am in a dilemma at the moment, my preschool is full at the moment but the toddlers room has space, We have children that need to be moved to preschool, but can't due to the space, l now want to join both rooms together and call it the over two rooms, a bit like free flow would OFSTED approve, would appreciate any help/advise please, both rooms are separate on the same floor. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't think Ofsted would comment so long as the ratios were kept. Our playgroup has 2.5 yr olds to 4 going on 5 yr olds all in one big hall like most sessional playgroups in church halls. Having worked in day nurseries, I prefer it this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So long as ratios are adhered to and it's not crammed in like sardines in a tin, then ofsted won't mind. Many settings skip a toddler room and go 2-5 (we are but purely a lack of space for us). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We have one main room for 2 years to school age and it works very well. My advice would be to check the EYFS space requirements as well as thinking of ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
