Summary of outcome

On 12 October 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. At the visit we found that the provider has improved their knowledge and understanding of risk assessment to help keep children safe. We also found that the provider now provides safe and suitable sleeping arrangements for children and promotes good hygiene practices. Furthermore, we found that the provider now uses positive behaviour management strategies to help children learn about expected behavioural boundaries. Daily routines have been reviewed so that children's care needs are now met more effectively. The provider has addressed gaps in her practice and now maintains a record of any accidents and incidents that occur on the premises.
