    They already have the 1:4 ratio in Queensland, have for years. I do think it is much better. But watch out in NSW, it will probably increase the cost of day care!

    More onene attention for the bubs. It means that there are more caregivers to look after the children in the 0-2's room.

    Victoria's actually got 1:3 in the pipelines, yip yip! Last place I worked down there was 3 carers:10 children. Still hectic, but quite nice, really.

    So that means the cost of child care is going to go up as the centres will have to employ more staff.
