The provision meets requirements

 Staff demonstrates their understanding of safeguarding children by making sure non- vetted people are not left alone with children and by adhering to the setting's safeguarding policies and procedures.  All required documents are maintained by the setting to make sure the children are kept safe when in their care. For example, registers are completed and they use registration forms to find out about children's individual needs.  Staff carry out risk assessments on all aspects of the environment and regarding the care of the children, including using the large play equipment and resources inside. This enables staff to keep children safe.  Staff demonstrate through discussion how they use the children's individual needs to meet their learning and development requirements.  Staff demonstrate through discussion how they support children to learn right from wrong through appropriate behaviour management systems.
