We found that the manager has sought advice and guidance from local authority advisers and now has a better understanding of up-to-date early years legislation.

Staff have received training to improve their knowledge and understanding of wider safeguarding issues, including the 'Prevent' duty guidance. The designated safeguarding lead responsible for safeguarding in the nursery has completed relevant training. She ensures that she is always contactable to fulfil the requirements of this role.
