Default I Am Really Really Struggling To Find An Answer To This...please Somebody Help Me, It Is Getting Me Down

Hi all,
Sorry to bug you again, but, I have searched an searched to find the answer to this, but, cannot find enough information.

EYMP3 2.4 Explain giving examples, why minimum space: staff ratios are necessary for childrens safety.
I understand why they are necessary, but, cannot think of examples to give.
Looked in the Penny Tassoni book, nothing much there to help, researched on the internet still cannot find the answer I need.

No help from my srtting, doing this pretty much on my own.

Sorry for the rant, but, right now this is getting me down.

Thank you X

One example may be that if there is not enough space then an accident may occur, they may trip and hit their head on a toy unit etc...

Staff ratio... children may not be looked after properly if there is not enough staff, they may miss out on certain things or may not get the interaction they require.

Hope this helps a bit :-)

Default Thank You So Much

Hi,
Yes it does, I know what they require, but, I have difficulty wording it.
Would you happen to know whether I need to specify the number of staff required to children, relating to their ages ?

Thanks again for your help.

From looking at the question, it doesn't look like you need to specify anything :-)

Hi, include them, you can use them as the reasoning why your setting does what it does safely whilst continuing to offer children new challenges. xx

Hi, welcome to silkysteps. If you're in England the EYFS has ratio information on page 18 and 19 - education.gov.uk

Hi, I'm new to this course and working on this question too.
I've got the staff ratios and space required for different ages and staff qualifications, but i need to answer, why i think this varys acording to type of setting, staff qualification and age of children?

What i dont get is, how can 1 member of staff with a level 6 qualification be more capable of looking after more children than 1 member of staff with a level 3, with the same age children.
