Summary of outcome

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. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

Summary of outcome

On 31 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.

p.2

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider had implemented new procedures to ensure that children's oral health was protected. Children are now provided with healthy food and drinks for meals and snacks that do not include sugar. The introduction of new safety measures now ensures that the provider can adequately supervise all children when preparing to use the car for taking children to school.

p.2

Summary of outcome

The provider has engaged effectively with local authority guidance, support and training to enable changes to be made in the provision. She has sought out evidence-based assessment tools to accurately assess children's development and is now clear about the gaps in their learning. The provider now gives the extra help and support that children need to catch up in their learning. Furthermore, the provider has gained additional support to manage children's behaviour more positively. This includes using positive praising and gentle encouragement to help children to manage their emotions.

p.2

Summary of outcome

Additionally, the provider has made significant changes to the hygiene routines for children. The handwashing routines are now effectively managed so that children sit down to eat immediately after cleaning their hands, minimising the risk of infection.

p.2

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
