The standards say minimum ratios must be adhered to at all times. That is 1:8, 1:4, 1:3.
If you have 10 2 year olds the ratio is 1:4 which means 3 staff not 2.
I have recently had this clarified by ofsted when my boss tried to do the same as your manager and I challenged him, we rang ofsted together on speaker phone and they confirmed to him that he was wrong that 10 2 year olds required 3 staff.
The old standards and the EYFS are quite clear on ratios.
