Summary of outcome

On 24 February 2020 we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. We carried out an unannounced visit to the setting on the 4 March 2020. We found that the provider does keep risk assessment records, however the provider has not included specific issues, such as the wall mounted nappy changing table. The provider has a recruitment process in place for new staff. However, the process is not robust enough or consistently implemented to make sure that all vetting procedures are completed in a timely manner and recorded. We have served a notice to improve. This requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.'
