Summary of outcome

On 8 November 2021, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare requirements, raised at their last inspection. We found that the provider had put effective systems and training in place to ensure all staff have, and can demonstrate, a secure knowledge and understanding of the signs that might indicate children are at risk of harm. Staff also demonstrated they understand the 'Prevent' duty guidance and would be able to follow appropriate procedures if they had concerns.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The provider has reviewed and improved information recording procedures. These now clearly show, in chronological order, what information has been shared with other professionals and parents, and when it was shared. Information sharing includes details about children's well-being, learning and development.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The provider has ensured that staff are deployed effectively and supervise children closely. Staff also communicate successfully with children and meet their needs. For example, after a two week break at half-term children are cared for in smaller groups to help them settle back-in quickly.

p.2

Summary of outcome

Staff receive coaching, training and support from leaders to help them manage children's behaviour in a consistent manner. The managing behaviour policy has been reviewed and additional books to help children learn about acceptable behaviour have been provided. Staff will also have access to behaviour management training from the local authority and staff meetings will also include discussions around behaviour.

Summary of outcome

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