Summary of outcome

On 20 September 2023 the provider notified us of a significant event. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of any serious accident, illness, or injury to, or death of, any child while in their care, and of the action taken. On 4 October 2023 they also notified of a further significant event which is likely to affect the suitability of the early years provider or any person who cares for, or is in regular contact with, children on the premises to look after children.

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider had improved staff knowledge of indicators of abuse as well as their knowledge of procedures to follow should referrals for children or staff need to be made. Staff have attended training on child protection and one minute safeguarding guides have been devised to help staff develop and maintain their knowledge in this area. The provider has ensured there is an induction procedure in place for agency and support staff to ensure they are aware of their roles and responsibilities. Support staff working with children confirmed how more information is shared with them about individual children, which helps them to meet their needs. The baby room was now in use for children aged under two-years and the main room more appropriately set up for children aged two-to- four-years. There were no longer any divides within the main room, which enables children to now have access to all areas and resources. This helps to minimise incidents of children

Summary of outcome

climbing. Staff were able to explain how they would consistently support and advise children how to get down if they should begin to climb inappropriately. Observations of staff working with children showed a calmer approach, which enabled staff to engage more effectively with children. The provider explained her plans for improving support for children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. This includes her now working more closely with the local authority special educational needs co-ordinator, to ensure these children's needs are met.
