What is the adult/child ratio for nursery setting?

Can staff ever be over ratio in a nursery setting?

  • Answer:

    Hey, Staff should NEVER be over their ratios in a nursery setting. There are set rules for a reason and huge health and safety implications if these ratios are not adhered 2. With babies the ratio is 1:3 therefore this should never b over. in the event of a fire if these ratios were not adhered to then 1 adult could not ensure the safety of all of the children. This is exactly the same in the older playrooms. Within the playroom it is difficult enough to look after the children within the rario never mind more. I hope this helps u.

Where I work we have state regulations on staff/child ratios. We opt to have 1/13 ratio in a preschool setting. If you feel a center is "Out of Ratio" call the local child partnership and ask what the staff/child ratio is for that center. If they are out of compliance;report them. Being "Out of Ratio" is dangerous for children and can lead to injury and neglect. Teacher must put eyes on every child and know what they are doing at all times. But before you act find out if they are in compliance.

State ratios are usually the minimum, so no you can't. Exception: the first and last 30-45 minutes are exempt in some states. Check the minimum standards for your state.

Do you mean is it possible to have too many staff in a setting? If so, yes! We had two children with special needs and their own assistants, plus the four adults who were required for the ratio for the rest of the children, all in one room. It was ridiculous, but I guess if a child needs support, it has to be that way.
