in the out of school club i worked in the ratios were one staff memeber to 8 children. and i checked a goverment web site and its true this is what they said.
How many children can the out of school club care for?
This depends on the amount of space that is available, and the number of staff that are employed. Ofsted require that staff ratios should be one adult to eight children (for children aged four-eight years). If the Out of School club is also used by children over eight years, the ratio should always remain 1:8 for children under eight years. It should be noted that no more than 26 children should be allowed in any one room regardless of the size of the room.
hope this helps you with your question good luck at the meeting x
