Toddler Room with Under 2's Ratio

Hi, I am currenlty working permanatley in the toddler room. We have up to 20 children a day with 4 staff which is fine.
Though we have 6 children who are not yet 2 years old. Admitably not all 6 usually attend on the same day, but yesterday we had 4 of the 6 under 2's there. It was a hard day as two of the children are new and one cannot walk yet.
So my question is; should our ratio be based on the youngest child in the room? Thus being 1:4 or because they are all anywhere between 1 and 4 months off turning 2 is the 1:5 ratio somehow ok?
Thanks,
Macoola

Have a read through the following and see if it makes sense based on your service's ratio requiirements:

Hi so a room that I worked in, had 5 children and 1 educator. All children were under 2 is this ok or not? Should it be reported. This happened on a daily basis..always going 1 over ratio numbers. Was a very hard room to manage on your own.

No! The ratio for under 2's is 1:4, however, services could be using the under the roof ratio but to do this an Educator must be available to help you at all times.

hi Lorina,
i work as a room leader for 3 to 4 years room. for most of the days i have 11 children just by myself in the room. amongst these 3 or 4 children are under 3. how do we maintain the ratio, is it justified if they give me under 3 children to fill the gap for 11 children ratio. kindly advise as i am very confused.

Ok so the under 3 ratio is 1:5 so if you have 3 or 4 children you are still in ratio and yes 3 to 4 years the ratio is 1:11. You are still in ratio even with the 3 years and under.

Thanks for your reply Lorina.
just little more clarification, if i have 11 children in the room within the age group of 2.5 to 4 years with eight children above 3 years and 3 children under 3 years, will the ratio be 1:11 or 2:11.
regards

It's still 1:11 because the lower ratio is being maintained.
The under 3 ratio is 1: 5 or under 2 ratio is 1: 4 and then you have 8 children above 3 which the ratio is 1:11. So, you are still in ratio by yourself.
