During a monitoring visit on 30 September 2014 the inspector discussed with you the steps you had taken to address the actions raised in the notice to improve.

Staff are able to explain how children are safeguarded through their increased knowledge and understanding of child protection. The manager knows who to contact with any child protection concerns or allegations against staff. She is waiting to complete the designated safeguarding officer training.

Outcome of monitoring

Outside and inside play is effectively resourced and sufficient, appropriate activities are provided. Children are very able to play independently but welcome support from staff, for example when they are in the creative area. The improved staff interaction with children during play ensures that children are challenged appropriately, and helps to move them on to the next stage in their learning, particularly in relation to developing their communication and language.
