RE: Using decimal point for ratio

Thanks for your feedback so far.
I've argued my point with management especially about how they round it down if the number is below point 5 as this shows we are under ratio but they said its perfectly acceptable. For example, recently I had 20 3 year olds in and 8 2 year olds in during the day. This works out to 4.5 which my manager said could be rounded down to 4 staff, which as far as I'm concerned is defo under ratio as we should've had 5.
I've been looking to see if there is any written information about using decimals to work out ratio etc. I want something concrete to show my manager as she claims to have clarified the decimal ratios with Ofsted and says its acceptable.
