In licensed centres, it's 1 staff to 4 under 2. I was in the baby room for most of my centre career and altho it was manageable in a centre, I wouldn't want to do it in a hdc. Good on you guys for knowing your limit!! I would have to admit that I would be leery of placing my child in a hdc with 5 under 2 and only 1 adult provider. Just my opinion though.
