Summary of outcome

On 24 February 2023, 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.

p.2

Summary of outcome

We found the provider responded to the actions set. We found that the provider had improved their own knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures, as well as their staff and now fully understands their responsibilities. The provider has made improvements to the deployment of staff to help meet the needs of all children. For example, they have ensured that within the baby room at least one member of staff has an approved level 3 qualification and has attended training that specifically addresses the care of babies. A program has been put in place to monitor staff's performance and improve practice. This has had a positive impact on the quality of teaching, particularly within the baby room. The provider has taken steps to ensure that they continually meet the ratio requirements. All staff have received training to help them understand the importance of security measures to prevent unauthorised persons from entering the nursery.
