Summary of outcome

On 15 September 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 taken suitable action to improve the safeguarding knowledge of staff and the designated lead to ensure that they know what action to take if they have concerns about a child. They now have a suitable deputy manager in place. The provider had improved the staffing arrangements to ensure that children receive appropriate support. They also improved their knowledge of risk assessments and shared this with staff. The provider has implemented a suitable healthy eating programme and they share this with parents. They have also reviewed their approach to supporting children's behaviour and included staff and children in making rules for the setting to support a consistent approach. The provider has reviewed the organisation of the
