Summary of outcome

On 23 May 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.

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider has improved their management and staff's knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures and now fully understands their safeguarding responsibilities. We found the provider has improved staff deployment and they now ensure that at least one paediatric first aid trained staff member is on the premises at all times.

Summary of outcome

We found that every child has an allocated key person, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. These persons are fully aware of their key children's individual care and learning needs to help ensure these are met. We found the provider has improved behaviour management within the nursery and they ensure that staff fully understand how to manage children's behaviour in an appropriate way.

Summary of outcome

We found the provider has provided staff with coaching to improve their knowledge and skills. They also have clear intentions to continue enhancing the support for all staff to ensure that they fully understand their roles and responsibilities. We also found the provider has implemented a new and improved folder for record keeping, including complaints, which is now easily accessible when required.

We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is ready for their re-inspection in due course. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
