Summary of outcome

On 8 December 2022, 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. We found that the manager has now completed a full safeguarding review. Where she found records of concerns about children a full chronological record has been complied and any necessary referrals have been made retrospectively to statutory agencies responsible for child protection. In addition, she has used the local authority audit tool to check she is fully compliant. This ensures that children are full safeguarded. Although it was not a weakness, as the manager and staff had appropriate robust knowledge of safeguarding, they have all attended further additional training.

Summary of outcome

The manager held in depth talks with the chairperson of the football club. They are discussing how the club can support the pre-school with ensuring the toilets are always suitable and appropriate deep cleaning of the premises is undertaken. Appropriate nappy changing facilities are now provided which ensures children's needs are met. Broken and dirty resources have been discarded and new furnishing and mats have been purchased. A cleaning rota has been devised to ensure all resources and equipment is kept clean.

Summary of outcome

Staff continue to work on managing children's behaviour. They have introduced new stories, such as the 'worry monster' to help children manage their feelings better. Routines are better explained to children and knowledge shared about why things are happening. New sticker reward charts have been introduced for children when their lunch has been heathy. These are taken home and shared with parents.
