p.1

Summary of outcome

We will monitor the provider's response to ensure the actions are successfully completed. On 26 October 2021, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit to monitor the actions. We found that the provider had reviewed the management structure to ensure a manager or deputy are always onsite with the relevant skills and knowledge. The provider has supported staff with safeguarding training which has had a positive impact on their knowledge. Staff know signs a child could be at risk of harm and how to escalate concerns if required. Staff have a good understanding of managing risk and risk assessments for certain activities have been updated. For example, when mixed ages of children use the large hall. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
