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.

Staff have completed training to update their safeguarding knowledge, including those with lead responsibility for safeguarding. The provider has arranged initial and ongoing training and support for staff to help improve their teaching skills and curriculum knowledge. This includes methods to manage children's behaviour. Staff implement effective risk assessments, inside and outdoors, to help maintain children's safety. Incidents of unwanted behaviour have diminished. Staff have improved their support for children's good health and hygiene. They wipe children's noses more
