p.2

THE QUALITY AND STANDARDS OF THE CARE AND NURSERY EDUCATION

The quality and standards of the nursery education are good. The group opens five days a week all year round. Sessions are from 07:30 until 18:00. Seventeen full time staff work with the children. Over half the staff have early years qualifications to National Vocational Qualification level 2 or 3. The setting receives support from a mentor teacher from the Local Authority.

p.2

Helping children to be healthy

The provision is satisfactory. Children are appropriately protected from the spread of infection, because most staff implement good hygiene procedures. For example, they wear disposable gloves and aprons when changing babies nappies. However insufficient attention is given to hand washing before snacks and meals in some of the rooms, which result in children being at risk of cross infectionff procedures set out in the leaflet Building better childcare: Compliments and concerns about inspectors' judgements which is available from Ofsted's website: www.ofsted.gov.uk
