Previous inspection: Requires improvement

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The provider has not developed robust procedures to ensure the ongoing suitability of staff. This puts children at risk. n The provider does not ensure that staff with paediatric first-aid qualifications are available at all times when children are present. Staff do not have the necessary training and skills to meet children's needs effectively in the event of an accident. This has a significant impact on children's health and well-being. n The provider has failed to notify Ofsted of changes to committee members, so the required suitability checks can be completed. This is a breach of legal requirements. n The management team does not ensure that staff follow safe practices with relation to the use of mobile phones and cameras. This compromises children's safety. n The provider has not ensured that all members of the team have up-to-date knowledge of current safeguarding guidelines, such as issues relating to children's extreme

This 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.
