What does Regulation 44A mean?
Regulation 44A allows services to take spare capacity in the under 2 age group into account in determining the staff required for children aged 2 and over.
The intention of this regulation is to allow flexibility for services in managing children during their transition into over two-year-old licensed spaces.
Regulation 44A affects centres with mixed age groups where the number of children aged two and over is such that the attendance of an additional child (or children) aged two or over would mean an additional teacher would be required to meet minimum ratio staffing levels.
How does it get applied within your Roster/ Contact Hours pages in Juniorlogs?
• If there is a spare capacity in the under 2 age group, the additional child (or children) can be counted in the under 2 ratio.
• If there is no spare capacity in the under 2 age group an additional teacher would be required.
