Summary of outcome

On 2 March 2022, 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. We found that the provider had improved their knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures and now fully understands their responsibilities. The provider had reviewed the safeguarding policy to ensure that it included all relevant information. The provider had taken appropriate steps to ensure staff are fully aware of their role and responsibility within the nursery, particularly with regard to safeguarding children. Two members of staff hold current paediatric first aid certificates and one of them is always on site at all times. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised.
