Link to Government consultation.
Consultation closes: 16th September 2022
This consultation seeks views on the following proposals:
-
changing the current statutory minimum staff:child ratios in England for 2-year-olds from 1:4 to 1:5
-
making the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework (EYFS) explicit that childminders can care for more than the specified maximum of three children under the age of 5 if they are caring for siblings of children they already care for, or if the childminder is caring for their own baby or child
-
making the EYFS explicit that “adequate supervision” while children are eating means that children must be in sight and hearing of an adult.
