Policy on staff numbers
It is the policy of this nursery to ensure there are always sufficient staff to give the children the care and attention which they need and in particular that staff numbers do not fall below the recommended staff child ratios set by OFSTED. For this reason we follow the following principles:
1. The number of permanent staff is always in excess of requirements. In particular the proprietor/member of staff in charge is always supernumerary and can always be called on to take over the position in the event of staff absence.
2. The nursery has a standby list of people who can be called to fill in if necessary in the event of staff absence. The people on the standby list are all police checked and may already work in the nursery on a part-time basis.
