Following the guidelines from the Children's Act 1989, the following
ratios have been implemented:
1
member of staff to 4 children aged two to three.
1 member of staff to 8 children aged three to five.
At
least 50 percent of all staff must be qualified, but here at Toddlers-In
we aim as high as possible. At this time January 2010, 95 percent
are qualified or training towards.
Staff
are trained in First Aid and Safeguarding Children and update this regularly.
The
principal and the Administrator are not included in the staff
ratios, which enables the staff to care for the children without
the burden of administration, shopping, cleaning etc, etc. This
is also useful at extra busy times when another pair of hands
is essential!
