Ratios, Group Size, and Supervision (regulation 27T)
Ensure staff-to-child ratio and supervision are maintained at all times. LS Sommer observed children going to the bathroom alone by leaving the cafeteria.

LS Sommer explained the doorway is a threshold and when children or staff cross it, it affects the staff-to-child ratio and supervision. This was corrected when a group of children were taken to the bathroom by a qualified staff, leaving a second staff member alone with 15 children.
