Summary of outcome

On 29 September 2020, while routine inspections were suspended, we carried out an interim visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions, raised at their last inspection. We found that staff are supported well to develop their skills, knowledge and practice, such as through training and regular supervision meetings. Staff demonstrated that they are managing children's behaviour using consistent strategies. They were able to confidently discuss the ways they support children's positive behaviour. Staff showed they understand how they are helping children to manage their feelings and behaviours. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised.

Additionally, during the visit, we found a new area of concern. This means that the provider was not meeting other requirements as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage. We found that the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of changes to the committee, which is a requirement of their registration. In relation to the new areas of concern, we have issued a notice to improve with an action for the provider to take. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
