This provision does not meet requirements

n The committee has made some improvements since the previous inspection. A manager was appointed in June 2019 to lead and manage the staff team. The committee has put in place systems for evaluating the quality of the provision. Children have a say in what they enjoy and what activities they would like to be provided. n Recruitment procedures are effective, which ensures staff are suitable for their roles. However, some staff who collect children from the local schools do not have a current paediatric first-aid certificate. Even though staff have asked to be first-aid trained, the committee has not taken prompt action to ensure sufficient staff members are qualified to administer first aid. n Staff provide a varied range of resources based on children's age and stage of development. Staff know the children well and plan interesting and exciting activities to engage them. Staff ensure that children have a place to rest should

They carry out effective risk assessments to make sure that children are not exposed to risks.

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.
