Summary of outcome

On 9 August 2021 we carried out a regulatory telephone call to ensure the actions have been successfully completed. We found that the provider had organised common core skills and paediatric first aid training for staff and several staff had completed these training courses. The provider improved their systems to record the suitability of all staff. Additionally, the provider had reviewed their procedures to ensure that their childcare is accessible and inclusive. We are satisfied the provider has met the actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
