Monitoring for provision judged as inadequate

An Ofsted inspector, Alison Weaver, monitored your provision on 17/09/2014 following your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

As a result of our inspection on 04/06/2014, 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 spoke to the manager and the deputy safeguarding officer about how the policies and procedures have been amended. The inspector looked at documentation relating to safeguarding procedures and accidents. You declined the opportunity to invite the local authority development team to attend the monitoring visit. You have had the full support of the local authority to help review and improve your practices. You have valued their support and advice and implemented this to make improvements.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

You have developed a clear action plan to address the action raised at the last inspection and this has been successful in helping you move forward. You have reviewed and revised safeguarding procedures and ensured that all staff are fully aware of the need to inform the relevant agencies about any serious accidents to, or death of, any child in your care. There are now clearer reporting procedures and more defined roles for the lead and deputy safeguarding officers. This contributes to the safeguarding of children.

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.
