Ratio Compliance

Always Ofsted-compliant, automatically

BloomKidz monitors your staff-to-child ratios across every room in real time. If a room is at risk of going below the required ratio, you get an instant alert — so you can arrange cover before it becomes a problem.

Statutory ratios enforced automatically (1:3, 1:4, 1:8, 1:13)
Ratio status shown live on rota and dashboard
Alerts fired the moment a ratio is at risk
Ratio history logged for every Ofsted inspection
