On 3 August 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 updated their safeguarding policies and procedures. Staff had received training and had an improved knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures. Staff had received supervision and had a clearer understanding of their roles and responsibilities. They understood their accountability for the children they cared for and how to ensure their continuous supervision. Staff recognised the importance of ensuring the premises were safe and also secure. The provider had introduced strategies to manage children's behaviour and staff felt more confident in working with children.
