Monitoring for provision judged as inadequate

An Ofsted inspector, Elizabeth Patricia Edmond, monitored your provision on 17/06/2014 following your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

As a result of our inspection on 13/05/2014, we sent you a welfare requirements notice. If you were set actions at the inspection, or as a result of our subsequent monitoring or investigations, these are included at the end of this letter unless we have already verified that they have been completed.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

Since your inspection you have been able to demonstrate that you have made a good attempt to address all of the weaknesses highlighted. You have made appropriate arrangements to evidence that staff are suitable to working with children and have put measures in place to supervise new staff until their suitability is confirmed. All staff have now attended a relevant First Aid course. You have appointed an appropriately qualified manager and a deputy who both now understand their roles within the setting. You have appointed staff members to take a lead role in safeguarding and behaviour management, although some training around these specialist roles is yet to be attended. Induction and supervision processes for are now in place but need more time to become fully embedded in regular practice. These processes are already highlighting training successes and the most urgent training needs but are not yet fully completed for all staff members.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

Your staffing rotas now ensure that there are always at least two staff on duty when children are present.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

Key staff have attended a recognised Food Hygiene course, other staff who are also involved in food preparation have received some advice on this but have yet to attend recognised training. Children have free access to drinking water and know from their photographs on the side which is their bottle. Measures to ensure that the premises are safe and suitable have been addressed. The daily check list now being used ensures that any hazards are removed immediately. Guidance and relevant documents on annual risk assessment have been sought from the Pre-School Learning Alliance however these are yet to be completed. The baby room is being used appropriately to ensure that babies’ care and development needs are addressed at all times.

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.
