The current working ratio in our nursery class is one adult to 8 children.

If you visit our nursery you will often find more adults working in here than you might expect. Some children with additional support needs may be working with a support for learning assistant. You might also find some parent volunteers or students helping out.

Quite often we also have pupils in the Nursery from the local Secondary School on work placements; work experience people; trainee Early Years workers from Colleges and Trainee Teachers from Universities.

If we go on an excursion out of school we will have far fewer children with each adult. We will often ask parents/carers for their help if we are ever going on a trip or visit away from school.
