It depends on where you are. But be careful. Different states have different requirements about what may, or may not, be in the kit. Check your state's regs.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Too be honest I didnt know there was one!

But I think it depends on how many rooms, and children.

I'd have one in every room if I had more than 2 rooms, and if I had over 40 children I'd have a couple. But I dont think you'd go through a whole kit in one day and as long as the items used are replaced ASAP then surely its ok to have one or maybe two? (for if you go outside?)

On trips I have 2-one with usual stuff and one with kids and adults medication. If the group is splitting up then maybe you could have a couple of kits.

You could always email OFSTED?
