p.1

Summary of outcome

On 28 July 2022, we monitored the actions taken and we found that the provider has reviewed the occasions that her assistant will be left with children and has agreed these with parents. Only assistants that have been vetted by Ofsted work unsupervised with children. An attendance record has been created and is completed daily. A suitable system is in place to provide parents with a written summary of each child's progress when they are aged between two and three years. The complaints record has been updated to include all concerns and their outcome. This record includes suitable steps taken by the provider to safeguard children from the misuse of technology, following a child viewing a scary video that was inappropriate for his age.

Summary of outcome

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