Monitoring for provision judged as inadequate

An Ofsted inspector, Ann Law, monitored your provision on 22/05/2014 following your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

As a result of our inspection on 28/02/2014, we sent you a welfare requirements notice. The actions you were set are included at the end of this letter.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

Since the last visit there have been changes to management which have had a positive impact on the organisation of the setting. The new manager has a commendable passion for improvement and has a detailed and thorough action plan in place. A new deputy manager has been recruited who is capable and qualified to take charge in the manager's absence and did so recently. Parents have commented 'Very pleased with progress since new manager started' and 'What an improvement'.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

Ofsted had been contacted with information that raised concerns that the inadequate inspection outcome had not been notified to parents and they hadn't been supplied with a copy of the report. We discussed this with the manager at this visit and found that, when the new manager was made aware of this, the information was included in a parents newsletter and a copy of the report was made available to parents.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

Staff have received in-house training in 'Our roles in being a successful key person'. Many new systems are in place to ensure that children's individual interests and needs are planned for. The inspector spoke to members of staff who spoke confidently about their key children and demonstrated that they know them well and can meet their needs.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

Having considered all the evidence, the inspector is of the opinion that the setting has taken prompt and effective action to address the points for improvement. Our Reference EY350743
