Summary of outcome

We found that the provider had improved their knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures and now fully understands their responsibilities. The designated safeguarding lead now has appropriate knowledge and skills to carry out their role effectively to safeguard children. All staff received training to improve their knowledge of safeguarding issues so that they can identify signs of abuse and neglect and follow the appropriate procedures. All staff are aware of wider safeguarding concepts, including the 'Prevent' duty guidance.

Summary of outcome

The provider implemented robust recruitment procedures to assess the suitability of staff working with children. New staff receive induction training to help them understand their roles and responsibilities within the nursery and carry out their roles effectively. The manager improved arrangements for supervision to ensure all staff receive the training and support required to improve their practice and meet children's individual needs.

Summary of outcome

The provider has ensured that each child is assigned a key person which helps children settle and ensures their individual care and learning needs are met. Additionally, their parents are informed. Staff are deployed effectively to supervise children and keep them safe. All staff who handle food received appropriate guidance and training in line with food hygiene and safety to keep all children healthy and safe. The management team and staff improved hygiene and cleaning practices within the nursery to help minimise the spread of infections to keep the children and staff healthy and safe. Staff carry out robust risk assessments to identify and reduce hazards. Required documents are readily available for inspection. The management team and staff improved the communication with parents and encourage them to share children's learning.
