Overall effectiveness of the improvement and outcomes for children

At the monitoring visit on 26 October 2012, we found that good progress had been made in relation to meeting the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) safeguarding and welfare requirements. The providers and manager have demonstrated a strong capacity for improvement and willingness to make changes to ensure children's safety and wellbeing. The premises are now safe and secure with new locks fitted to doors, the reception area is manned by staff and plans are in place to fit an inner door to the hall to prevent other users to the building gaining access to the nursery. The required policies and procedures have been updated and all staff made aware through induction and training of the procedures including safeguarding procedures. There are planned 1 to 1's and appraisals arranged with staff to identify their training needs. The setting has received worthwhile support for the local authority early year's advisors to ensure staff have access to immediate training opportunities. The
