Post House Nursery Ltd

Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage', which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right. On 6 and 9 March 2020 the provider notified us of two significant events. We discussed this with the provider. We have served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out.

Summary of outcome

On 16 September 2020 we visited the provider to check their response to the welfare requirements notice. We found that the procedure for recording and reporting accidents to parents had been changed. Staff now fill in a detailed accident record form and use a guidance document to make sure they fully feedback all details to parents. All staff spoken to were fully aware of the new procedure and spoke confidently about how the process works in practice. The daily attendance register has been changed. All staff know that they are all responsible for making sure the attendance register is up to date. They use the attendance register to make sure that they know how many children they should have with them as they move groups of children to different parts of the nursery, such as the outdoor play area. Staff follow the daily risk assessment procedure and in discussion can describe the everyday risks that might happen in the day to day environment when caring for young

Publication of compliance action

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.

p.2

Publication of compliance action

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years commencing on the date we complete our investigation.
