p.1

Summary of outcome

On 17 February, 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 the procedures that must be followed to ensure the suitability of any person working on the premises as an assistant. The provider had devised a form for parents to complete to give consent for their children to be left in sole charge of the providers assistant. The provider had reviewed the infectious disease policy and had ensured that hygiene routines within the home remained suitable to ensure the safety and well-being of the children. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised.
