I worked in a private day nursery in n. yorks and i was appalled at the standard of care they provide to the extent that i left shortly after starting! One time i was left in the 0-1unit with 7 babies for 45 mins when my supervisor decided to take an extended lunch break!! I told her i wasnt happy but no one seemed to care! i asked what would happen if ofsted came and i was told no one would be allowed breaks, as we dont have the staff to cover, i was there for 6 weeks in that time i had no health and safety induction even though i asked for one on several occations! and there was not one time when the staff child ratio's were met! I had been a supervisor in my previous nursery and at the time was doing a management nvq so i was pretty clued up about the national standards as any one working in childcare should be, my supervisor didnt even know what they were nor did any other room leaders in the nursery, my supervsor even managed to give a 8 month old baby 10ml's of medised within 2 hours and when i pointed this out to her asked me not to tell anyone!! i was out of there like a shot!!
