Helen_Cullum Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi, I was hoping someone could help. Is the Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, that was Published: 3 March 2017 Effective: 3 April 2017, the most relevant guidance? I have been told by a colleague that the ratio for 2 year olds is 1:6, but I believe that it is 1:4, I was just trying to find out if this was still the case, or if I have missed an update to the ratios. They are talking about having 'older 2year olds' - but I still think they are counted in the 1:4 ratio of 2 year olds, until they are actually 3. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

JackTapestrySupport Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi, Helen! I can't see anywhere about the ratios changing. I know they were considering it being 1:6 back in 2013 according to this article. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-21232270 But going from the most recent EYFS framework it does seem to still be 1:4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
