    Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

    I can see pros and cons of this idea because DD seems to be soo intrigued with older kids (than kids her age group)
    but i am also worried about the issue with activities being understimulated but the carer said leave it up to them as they assess the kids and will provide activities accordingly

    I am able to observe for a couple of days but DH isnt buying the idea at all because he thinks DD will be pushed by the older kids.

    Just a quick one: You say the ratio is one staff member to 5 kids? How many kids do they actually have in each room? That would make a huge difference to me. I'd be worried about a 20 mth old being lost in 15 kids even if there are 3 staff there.

    They have a big room and outdoor area

    the carer has a group so all the groups are in the same room.

    I read the concept of it (from a govt site) it looks okay but it didnt explain about how educational the activities are to the varied ages.
