Check early years qualifications
All early years providers working with children from birth to 5 years old must follow the regulations on early years foundation stage (EYFS) staff:child ratios. This is the number of qualified staff, at different qualification levels, an early years setting needs to have in order to meet the needs of all children and ensure their safety.
You can check if a persons qualifcations allow them to work in an early years setting, and if you can include them in staff:child ratios on the GOV.UK website.
For further guidance please refer to the Department for Education's Early Years qualification requirements and standards (PDF, 416 KB)
