Hi
this is also in the EYFS pack under statutory guidance

but here is a little that might help you:

• If in your setting you have a professional with a relevant level 6 qualification working directly with the children, the staffing levels then become 1 adult to 13 children, at least one member of staff must hold a relevant level 3 qualification.
All relevant qualifications must be defined by CWDC. The ratios relate to staff working directly with the children, suitable staff must be available to cover staff breaks, holidays, sickness and time spent on courses or with parents. There must be at least two members of staff on duty at any one time when children are present.


All the other ratio's also states that a person holding a relevant level 3 qualification must be present
