You were also issued with Notices to Improve, which required you to develop staff knowledge and understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage, and to ensure sensitive observational assessments are undertaken in order to identify learning priorities and plan relevant and motivating experiences for each individual child.

Overall effectiveness of the improvement and outcomes for children

Satisfactory progress has been made since the inspection in addressing these issues. Suitability checks are in place, or have been initiated, for all staff members and an appropriate system for recording information about the checks has now been implemented. This means that arrangements to ensure that children are cared for by suitably people are now in place. Steps have been taken to develop the knowledge and skills of staff members. A training programme has been implemented with support from the Local Authority, and a programme of observation and assessment is in place, resulting in better outcomes for children.
