Summary of outcome

This helps to enhance their confidence, knowledge, skills and understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Staff have completed recent safeguarding training. They have a secure understanding of the policies and procedures to follow regarding any wider safeguarding concerns, such as the 'Prevent' duty. This helps to promote children's welfare. Furthermore, the provider has taken appropriate action to make the premises secure. Children are unable to leave the premises without an authorised adult, and uninvited visitors are unable to gain entry. Risk assessments are completed by staff effectively.
