Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

Summary of outcome

On 9 July 2021, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be inadequate. The inspection report sets out the actions the provider was required to take to meet the requirements.

Summary of outcome

On 20 July 2021, we carried out a regulatory 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 trained all staff to follow safe and appropriate physical handling methods when manoeuvring children. The provider ensures that at least one member of staff who holds a valid paediatric first-aid certificate is available at all times and accompanies children on outings. Risk assessment is sound and any risks to children have been minimised or removed. The provider has ensured that fire exit routes are easily accessible.

Summary of outcome

We also found that children are adequately supervised, and that staff are deployed effectively. The provider demonstrates that appropriate procedures are in place to record any accidents and inform parents and/or carers of any accidents sustained by the child on the same day. Staff are beginning to receive appropriate support, supervision and training to improve their knowledge and skills. The key person arrangements have improved, and care is tailored to children's individual needs. The provider ensures that the qualification levels of staff meets the minimum requirements. There is now a separate area for children aged under two years and the provider ensures that signing-in records are kept accurately to maintain the safe and efficient management of the setting.

Summary of outcome

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