Summary of outcome

On 30 August 2023, the provider responded to the action set. We found that the provider had strengthened staff's knowledge and understanding of the importance of ensuring a robust risk assessment is completed so that children in their care are not exposed to risks in the outdoor environment. Going forward, they have updated the risk assessment procedures to make sure they are carried out robustly, and that children are kept safe in the outdoor areas. This includes the baby room garden, where identified potential hazards have been removed or fixed. In addition, meetings have been held with staff in each room to ensure they clearly understand their role and responsibility in identifying a risk or potential hazard and the action to be taken. The action taken by the provider will help to ensure the safety of children while playing outdoors.
