Overall effectiveness of the improvement and outcomes for children

A new kitchen has been installed on the first floor of the premises and a qualified cook is employed to prepare food. A rating of 5 for food hygiene has been given by environmental health. The toilet area has been installed and includes a toilet cubicle, nappy hanging table and storage. Children aged 2-3 years can now access these toilets with support from staff. Opportunities for children to develop knowledge and understanding of using the toilet and good hand washing skills are made available through discussions. Staff support children to develop their independence by using the new sinks in the toilet area. They teach them to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet, and children are developing good routines about their self- hygiene. Medication is stored safely and the provider ensures that staff follow correct procedures for storage of medication.
