Outcome of monitoring

During the monitoring visit on the 15 July 2014 the inspector discussed with the steps you have taken to address the actions raised in the notice to improve. You were able to demonstrate that you have renewed Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks for all staff. The inspector saw your central record of this which showed this clearly. You explained to the inspector how you had developed links with your local authority for support and training and you had followed their suggested action plans. You had, with the help of the local authority, arranged training for staff which is supporting their skills in managing children’s behaviour, their understanding of safeguarding children and their knowledge of food safety. Your training matrix showed clearly that this programme of development was well underway with safeguarding and first aid completed. Food hygiene training, for some staff, whilst begun, had not, at that time been completed. The inspector spoke to all members of

Outcome of monitoring

staff, present at the visit, about who they would contact if they were concerned about a child's welfare; all staff were aware.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

You were able to show how daily risk assessments were being used to minimise risks to children. No hazards were seen at the visit. The inspector counted the children and the staff, and then checked the relevant daily record of attendance. This confirmed that staffing ratios were being maintained throughout the day. Your links with the local authority had been successful in developing planning and assessment systems to monitor and promote the children’s learning and development. The inspector looked through two of the children’s learning journeys which demonstrated how ‘next steps’ were being identified, in most cases, to plan for children’s continued progress in all areas of learning.

p.2

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.

Next steps

The next step will be a full inspection.
