The finding comes from a snapshot survey carried out by the NDNA on its website, just after the 'More Great Childcare' document was published and is based on 141 responses.
Eighty per cent of respondents said they 'strongly disagreed' in response to the question asking if they agreed that the number of children to each nursery staff member should be increased if staff have higher qualifications.
When asked whether working to new ratios would mean that nurseries could change their fees to parents, 72 per cent said that there would be no impact on fees.
