regular meetings with staff to discuss their roles and key children. Although staff complete mandatory training, for example, first aid, their training is not always tailored to their professional development goals.

Safeguarding

The manager and the staff team understand how to identify the signs and symptoms that could indicate a child is at risk. They clearly understand how to report any concerns about children's welfare or the behaviour of another adult. Staff are aware of the whistle-blowing procedures if they feel that managers are not addressing any concerns. The manager implements a robust recruitment and induction system and ensures that all staff are suitable. Staff make sure that children are able to play in a safe and secure environment, using risk assessments and following detailed policies and procedures.
