Are your ratios correct?

Ratios are not just about numbers of staff to children – have your staff got the full and relevant qualifications to ensure that you are meeting the statutory requirements for the EYFS?

Pages 23—27 of the EYFS 2017 set out the statutory requirements that all childminders, PVI settings and schools must meet.

If you have staff who started their qualifications pre-September 2014 you can check to see if they are full and relevant here:

For staff who started their qualification after September 2014 you can check qualifications are full and relevant here:
