Summary of outcome

On 14 July 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. We found that the provider had taken steps to focus on professional development to improve the overall quality of the provision. Adults now deploy themselves effectively and supervise children well to keep them safe. The provider had improved their hygiene arrangements to prevent the spread of infections. The provider had improved their knowledge and understanding of positive behaviour management and risk assessments. The provider had reviewed and rearranged the overall space to meet the requirements of health and safety, and fire exits are free from instructions.
