Nursery and staff/child ratio?

seperate rooms is a first my daycare their is seprate rooms for every class/ teacher... the kids aren't aloud to go from room to room... 2yrd olds in 1 class, 3 yrd old in another... and so on... soemtimes they combine the class but their is always plenty of teachers . the 3yrd old class has 2 teachers but there is, i believe 12 kids.

i work in a day nursery and the staff move around rooms when the children do or vice versa,no children are left unsupervised,dont worry,wait til she gets to school and there is only 1 teacher with 30 children that is when you need to worry.if you still are concerned you need to speak to the nursery manager x

i work in a busy nursery in glasgow and by law the minratio is 8 kidz to 1 adult indoor and 5 to 1 out door i know it seems a lot but try not to worry wish u and ur daughter all the best x

When kids enter their 2 years before school, the ratios drop because they can do so much more for themselves. If it is a good nursery they will have much more structured play in the new playroom with a full curriculum in place. It would seem they do with the themed rooms. The kids should also be encouraged to do more for themselves - simple things like putting coats and shoes on to go out etc. The next 2 years are all about getting your daughter ready for school.

Your worring over nothing. Those areas will be a 'No go area' its the same at my sons nursery. He is full time, and the ratio is 6 children to 1 staff sometimes maybe more but the law is 8 to 1 which is perfectly find, they are only small. Is the nursery Ofsted? If so then they are a good nursery.

I don;t like the fact that there are rooms that are unstaffed that the children have access to. I would change to a smaller nursery if I were you.

something about that scares me.i would never let my 5yo even go into a play area unsupervised lol.i understand if thats the best the nursery can do but i think you should maybe look into finding a new nursery *good luck

That's pretty standard. In the daycare I worked at(in NC) it was 1/5 for infants and toddlers up to age one, 1/6 for toddlers up to age 2, 1/8 for two year olds, 1/9 for 3 year olds, and 1/12 for 4 year olds. I'm not saying those are the best ratios but it's legal.

check about see if there is a better one
