Summary of outcome

On 17 May 2024, the provider responded to the actions set. We found that the provider has taken effective action to ensure that staff receive confidential supervisions to enable them to feel supported in their role. Whole team staff meetings have been held to improve staff's understanding of the actions to take if ratios are not met. Leaders now make sure there are always enough staff to ensure that children's needs are met and are safe. Furthermore, leaders have recently recruited additional qualified staff to the nursery. The key person arrangements have been better organised so that all children spend time with staff who know them well. Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is more effective. Staff are given time to implement children's support plans to meet their needs. Risk assessments have been implemented successfully and confidential information has been securely stored.

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
