An Ofsted inspector, Diane Stone, carried out a monitoring visit of your provision on 11/12/2013. This visit follows on from your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

p.1

Outcome of the visit

As a result of our inspection on 15/10/2013, we sent you a welfare requirements notice.

p.1

Outcome of the visit

The notices required you to: ensure a Disclosure and Barring Service check is carried out for all staff working directly with the children; ensure effective recording of information about vetting processes. For example, record the Disclosure and Barring Service check reference number, date obtained and details of who obtained it; ensure that risk assessments and the nursery's policies and procedures are followed to ensure the safety of children at all times. This particularly relates to the risk assessment for outings and the use of appropriate seat restraints for all children in the vehicles used to transport them.

Outcome of the visit

You were also issued with a notice of actions to improve that required you to: ensure that at least one person with a current paediatric first aid certificate accompanies children on outings; undertake an effective risk assessment of the premises, equipment and outings and ensure that all necessary measures are taken to minimise any identified risks (compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare Register); ensure a Disclosure and Barring Service check is carried out for all staff working directly with the children (compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare Register).

Overall effectiveness of the improvement and outcomes for children

The provider has worked hard to ensure that all the areas identified at inspection as needing improvement have been met. A system is in place to ensure that appropriate checks are completed to determine adults suitability to work with children. A record of all Disclosure and Barring Service check reference numbers, the dates they were obtained and details of who obtained them is maintained for all staff and volunteers who work at the setting. As a result children are appropriately safeguarded as any adult in regular contact with children have been checked and deemed suitable.

Overall effectiveness of the improvement and outcomes for children

The provider has updated the risk assessment for outings. The provider and staff are aware of the need to consider all risks associated with an outing prior to it taking place. Vehicles are only used in case of emergencies however, there are sufficient appropriate restraints for staff to use to ensure that children remain safe while being transported in a vehicle. All staff now have a current paediatric first aid qualification this enables the provide to ensure that children remain safe on school runs or any outings.
