The provision does not meet requirements

 The manager does not meet the requirement to obtain an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check in respect of every person working directly with children. This breach relates to the requirements of the Childcare Register.  Staff are not familiar with the setting's safeguarding policies and procedures, in particular, how to recognise when the child might be at risk. Moreover, the manager does not know what procedures to follow if the allegation is made against a member of staff. This breach also relates to the Childcare Register.  The manager does not offer staff opportunities to improve their knowledge regularly, with particular regard to safeguarding children and child protection issues.  There is a range of resources available for children of different ages to explore, to support their interests.  The manager and staff understand the importance of providing children with a healthy diet, including regular opportunities for fresh air and exercise.

The provision does not meet requirements

The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
