The provision does not meet requirements

 The provider does not ensure at least one member of staff holds a current and valid paediatric first-aid certificate, as required. This means that staff have not had relevant training to meet children's needs in the event of any accidents or injuries. Staff understand their child protection responsibilities and the correct procedures to follow to help safeguard children's welfare.  The provider does not have a good understanding of the requirements of the early years foundation stage and the Childcare Register, leading to several breaches. They have not notified Ofsted of a change to the manager, as required.  Staff know how to work in partnership with parents and teachers to complement children's learning in school. For example, they know how to support children's self- confidence and communication skills and how to help them learn to resolve conflicts.  The manager understands the value of monitoring the group and staff interactions with

The provision does not meet requirements

There were no children present when this inspection took place. 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.
