Summary of outcome

On 17 May 2024, 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. We found that appropriate arrangements had been put into place to record accidents and these are checked by management with parents being informed on collection. Significant improvements have been made with the suitability of the premises. All toilets are now clean and in working order. Work has started on clearing rooms, which were not in use, from unused and discarded equipment and resources, therefore no longer creating a fire risk. Appropriate food provisions were seen in the fridge and evidence observed that lunch had been cooked and served. Work is still being undertaken in this area to create menu's which are healthy balanced and nutritious. The manager and staff have liaised with external agencies and have worked closely to provide an enriched area for children who may have
