you are right 26 babies is silly how can they possibly get continuity of care from that i dont believe ofsted would allow it

We have one room divided into 3 sections we can take up to 32 babies in the entire room with a 1-3 ratio so we have 1 room is this rong then i am not aware of a limit of children in each group most we ever have had in 1 group is 10 3 mnths to when child walks is that right ?

The area should of been measured on registration to find out how many can be registered for the room. There can be no more than 12 under twos in a area at any one time. We had a room that was adequate for 15 under twos so we had a divider put in the room and had 7 one side and 8 the other. 32 sound alot for one room i cant imagine the level ofnoise.

It is very noisy admittedly isn't it a certain amount of space per child or sumthing ? we haven't had 32 for a while so yeh it is 1 room but 3 gropus with 1 divider and a messy area still part of the same room does that make sense ? i guess it depends on the way you pursue the situation. the most we have at the moment is 26 and the leat we have is 11 and thats all together in the baby room adding all the groups up, we're not at our peak at the moment !

Too right they have to be in the room how can someone be in numbers if they are in the office filling in paperwork or if they are answering the phone how can they be caring for the children.
