We reviewed the provider's response and found that steps had been taken to ensure that the designated safeguarding lead now understands the nursery's safeguarding policy and procedures, and that staff without suitability checks do not have unsupervised contact with children. The provider has also improved recruitment processes to ensure that all staff are suitable and that they are deployed well across the nursery to meet the qualifications and ratio requirements.
