Frequently asked questions about children's monitors for events

How many monitors do I need for my event?

The usual recommended ratio is 1 monitor per 6-8 children under 3 years old and 1 monitor per 8-12 children aged between 3 and 6 years old. For children over 6 years old the ratio can be slightly broader. The provider will advise you on the most appropriate number of monitors based on the ages and confirmed number of children.

Do children's monitors have specific qualifications or training?

Professional leisure monitors typically hold the Monitor de Tiempo Libre or Director de Tiempo Libre title, issued by the regional authorities, and many also have first aid training and a clear criminal record certificate (specifically for sexual offences). When booking, always request the professional's accreditation and a negative certificate from the sex offenders register.

What space is needed for the children's monitor service?

The ideal space is a room or dedicated area specifically for the children, separate from the adults' space but nearby and accessible. This can be a room in an event hall, a marquee, a fenced garden or any safe and suitable space. The larger and better equipped the space, the more comfortable and effective the service will be.

Can the children's monitor look after babies or very young children?

Yes, as long as the professional has specific training and experience with babies and children under 2 years old. In these cases it is essential that the ratio is lower (1 monitor per 3-4 babies) and that parents provide all the necessary information about routines, allergies, feeding and special needs for each child.
