Hope this helps

Hi Kerrie
thankyou for your reply. We used to take the children to the park and beach which we then did the ratio of 1:2 but recently in town i saw day nursery staff there with about 10 children and two adults, there were about 6 children strapped together with one adult and another adult with a double buggy with two children in and additional 2 children walking with her. Personally i would refuse to take children with that ratio and both staff were infront of six children trailing behind them, wish i had my camera because i would have complaint to the nursery with proof. I though the ratio had changed dramitically with off site visits. glad it hasn't as me as a passer by thought it was really dangerous especially as the staff were chit chattering and giving the children no interaction and more importantly the children were not being supervised safely.
