Day Nurseries in DE74
| Published: 22nd November 2006 14:24 |
Nursery classes and nursery schools fall into two groups: state and private. Most day nurseries are privately run.
Most nurseries:
- will take your child between the ages of three and five, although many day nurseries take younger children
- open throughout the school year, although some private day nurseries open during the school holidays
- operate a core day of 9.00 am to 3.30 pm, although many nurseries offer longer days
- offer five half-day sessions, although some types of nursery will offer part-time or full-time places depending on your needs
- Nursery schools and classes have a minimum ratio of two adults to 20 to 26 children - one must be a qualified teacher, the other a qualified nursery assistant.
Day nurseries have more intensive staffing ratios and different rules on qualifications of staff depending on the ages of children being cared for.
