some of thisis direct from national standards, others OFSTED inspections etc

preson in charge must hold at least level 3, and suitable experience

over 20 children in a setting, the manager is supernumerary

ALL supervisors should hold a level 3 qualification and the person in charge of underones must have experience of working with under ones

ratios must be met at ALL times- staff muct be available to be with the children to count in- on lunch, on the toilet or preparing meals do not count as available

Not strictly true, the standards state " where staff take breaks you must maintain overall required staffing ratios by measures such as making sure sufficient staff remain on the premises. There is not anything in the national standards section 1 suitable person that states over 20 children the manager needs to be supernumerary although this is considered good practice.
