Summary of outcome

On 11 February 2021 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 visit. We found the provider had met some of the safeguarding and welfare actions but not others. For example, they had improved reporting procedures to ensure that local child protection agencies would now be informed of any serious accident or injury without delay and had trained all staff to fully understand their responsibilities to keep children safe. However, the room layout in the pre-school room did not enable staff to supervise children effectively at all times.

Summary of outcome

On 11 March 2021 we carried out a further regulatory visit. We found that the provider had now met all the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. Risk assessment procedures were improved throughout the nursery, staffing arrangements were robust and the layout of the preschool room had been changed to enable staff to supervise children well at all times.
