Gezabel Posted September 3, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted September 3, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted September 3, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gezabel Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
