Plan the nursery staff rota
Ratios met in every room, every hour, with breaks and first aid cover.
- Check bookings for each room
- Work out ratios by age group
- Draft the rota
- Check ratios still work over lunch breaks. Most people forget this: Lunch breaks are where rooms drop below ratio
- Check a paediatric first aider is on site at all times
- Approve the rota (Deputy manager signs off)
- Share the rota two weeks ahead
