Set staff-to-child ratios for age groups

You can set how many staff members are required in each room.

Click edit to set specific staff:child ratios for age groups and choose if staff members that are qualified for a 1:13 ratio should impact the staffing requirements on the rota and occupancy.

Calculation for staff required

There are two calculation rounding options to help you view the most accurate staff required numbers for your needs:

  • Round staff required per age group: This option typically results in a higher number of staff being required. It calculates staff needs by rounding up the required staff for each age group individually before adding the totals together.

  • Round total staff required at the end: This option generally results in fewer staff being required, helping to reduce costs. It first adds the decimal values for the staff needed in each age group, then rounds the total at the end.

Editing Staff Rota

You can specify whether you'd like the past weeks on rotas to be editable or not.
