Summary of outcome

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. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right. On 2 May 2023, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 25 May 2023, we carried out an inspection. The report and inspection outcome will be published in due course. Following the inspection, we served a welfare requirements notice on 31 May 2023. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

Summary of outcome

On 14 May 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. The inspector found that ratios were met, this included the appropriate qualified number of staff. Staff deployment was effective in ensuring children were adequately supervised and their needs were met. New staff have joined, and the provider is still in the process of recruiting more suitability trained staff. This currently means that they are included in the ratios. Training has been undertaken by staff which supports the development needs of the children, especially for staff who are working in the baby room. All staff follow the safe sleep guidelines and have received training.

Summary of outcome

A key worker system has been implemented. This is still it's in infancy and staff are gathering more information about children from parents so they can plan and provide a curriculum to support children's development in line with their interests. Information has been shared with parents about the changes in key worker for their children. The provider complaints policy and log are up to date. Changes have been made to the safeguarding policy to ensure it is robust and fully in line with local authority procedures. Staff demonstrate a good understanding of what action they would take if they had concerns about children in their care. In addition, staff were able to talk confidently about the procedures to follow if they had concerns about adults working with children to ensure the safety of the children.
