Breakfast Clubs: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what is the minimum supervision ratio of adults to children required to run a primary school breakfast club.
Answered by Stephen Morgan
Staffing levels and ratios should be determined by individual schools, considering the different levels of need, including special educational needs and disability, of the children attending.
Breakfast clubs may include children who attend reception class during the school day. Schools should have regard for the early years foundation stage statutory framework for group and school-based providers.
If a breakfast club programme is being delivered by a private, voluntary and independent provider, who only provides care for children aged six and above, the provider should follow the ratio requirements set out in the guidance for daycare providers on the compulsory childcare register.
