    Default Ratio Planner

    Hi All
    I am after a ratio planner for the EYFS age range (birth to 5) but on the same page up to the age of 8.
    I am having a complete dim moment and for the life of me cannot think how to plan this at present - perhaps I need more sleep!
    I have one already but it does not break down between the 2 age ranges and my certificate has now changed to increase the numbers I can have and therefore need to know what I have available given what I already work.
    If anyone could help it would be appreciated - whilst I continue to try and work out my own one!
    Thanks

    Hi Minstrel I have done one but not too sure how to add it to here as a link. If you PM your email I'll email it across to you. You'll just need to change the day of the week to it and add/delete columns for the numbers your allowed.

    I just use this with initials for all the children and a highlighter to colour code the age groups.

    I have different children term-time and school holidays, so have 2 on one page.

    I just have a timetable which is split into the amount of spaces I am allowed to have on each day, I leave the possible EY spaces white and colour the over 5 space grey. Then I fill in each row with child's name and time. I am allowed max of 4 children under 8 with 3 under 5 and so I have 4 rows in each day, 3 white and 1 grey. If 2 children share the same day due to 1 being in the am and 1 pm then they are just filled in on same row. If I have an EY child on a variation, they will be on the grey row with a * next to their name. You could do a different colour for the possible under 1 too.

    I actually have an extra row per day where I write the possible toddler groups so I can see at a quick glance which children would be there for each group.

    It is quick and easy to use. I used to do it so the children were more colour coded than that but actually I didn't need it and this uses less ink if I print.
