All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2.

Summary of outcome

At the visit on 7 November 2022, we found that adult: child ratio requirements were being adhered to, children were being adequately supervised and their care needs were being met. All areas of the building that children could access had been risk assessed and hazards removed. Additionally, food preparation areas were fully equipped with the necessary equipment to make sure good food hygiene practices can be maintained. We found that staff had received induction training and knew the procedure to follow in the event of a fire or any other emergency. Furthermore, all fire exits were clear of obstacles which could hinder the safe evacuation of children.

Summary of outcome

At the visit on 29 November 2022, we found that effective systems had been set up to enable a two-way flow of information with parents, so that they had a full understanding of the care their child receives. We found that staff were receiving effective coaching and mentoring which was having a positive impact on how well they were implanting the curriculum, and keeping children engaged in learning. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised.
