Is A Diploma Needed In The Babies Room At All Times?
Does anyone know if there is anything in regulations stating that a diploma must be working in babies room at all times?

Re: Cert 3 and babies room
I haven't seen anything specific, apart from the fact that Group leaders must have, or be studying towards a diploma. So to answer your question, yes there should always be someone with a diploma (or studying towards) in every room, including the nursery.

Just adding to what Rosie said... In the National Regulation it states:

(1) The qualification requirements for educators at a centre-based service educating and caring for children preschool age or under are as follows—
(a) at least 50 per cent of the educators who are required to meet the relevant educator to child ratios for the service must have, or be actively working towards, at least an approved diploma level education and care qualification; and
(b) all other educators who are required to meet the relevant educator to child ratios for the service must have, or be actively working towards, at least an approved certificate III level education and care qualification.
