On 16 November 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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider has revised the behaviour management policy. Staff's knowledge and understanding of how to manage children's behaviour in appropriate and consistent ways has improved. They have improved the way in which accidents are recorded, monitored and reported to parents. All staff are supported by the management team effectively. They are offered regular supervision sessions, training and ongoing support. This helps to enhance their confidence, knowledge, skills and understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Each child is assigned a key person. This ensures that every child's care is tailored to meet their individual needs. A revised communication arrangement enables a two-way flow of information between parents and the provision. This aids the sharing of key information to meet the needs of children. Furthermore, the good health of children is encouraged. Fresh drinking water is easily accessible to children throughout each session.

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.
