Last week, I went on a "pedajolly" to a conference in Birmingham with two colleagues - Ben who leads the LEYF Training Academy and Jean who manages a super three times "outstanding" nursery in Bayswater.
Rumour has it the former early years minister, and now prime minister, Liz Truss is considering ditching the recently proposed tweaks to adult: child ratios and axing them altogether.
In July I wrote a blog calling parents, staff and colleagues to get their heads around the ratio debate and understand why reducing ratios are bad for children, bad for staff and will not reduce fees to parents.
