I know that Sarah has written this somewhere but I cannot find it

What floor space must you have for each child you are looking after?

Thank you

For the revised EYFS it's on page 24 of the statutory framework under Safety and Suitability of Premises, Environment and Equipment, subsection Premises 3.56. I guess the figures are the same as now.

I can't copy and paste cos I'm on my iPad and don't know how to!

3.56 The premises and equipment must be organised in a way that meets the needs of children. In registered provision, providers must meet the following indoor space requirements. These calculations should be based on the net or useable areas of the rooms used by the children, not including storage areas, thoroughfares, dedicated staff areas, cloakrooms, utility rooms, kitchens and toilets –
• Children under two years: 3.5 m2 per child.
• Two year olds: 2.5 m2 per child.
• Children aged three to five years: 2.3 m2 per child.

Hth :D

Thanks everyone - found it and passed it on x
