Monitoring for provision judged as inadequate

An Ofsted inspector, Julie Kelly, monitored your provision on 05/09/2014 following your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

As a result of our inspection on 24/07/2014, we sent you a notice to improve. 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.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

During the monitoring visit, the inspector discussed with you the steps you have taken to address the action raised in the notice to improve. She observed the indoor and outdoor environment and had a discussion with the manager. The inspector also spoke to individual members of staff and to a representative from the local authority. She looked at your self-evaluation form and records for staff attendance.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

The inspector found that you have developed an action plan to address the issue raised at the last inspection and have systems in place to evaluate the quality of practice and the impact this has on outcomes for children. This has enabled you to address the areas for improvement from the last inspection and plan for ongoing improvement. You welcome support from the local authority and shared your action plan with the adviser.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

You have reorganised staffing rotas to ensure there is now a person with a first-aid qualification on site at all times. In addition, you have organised for all members of staff to receive first aid training in late September. As a result, children are kept safe because in the event of an accident there is always a member of staff available to administer appropriate first aid treatment.

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.
