Summary of outcome

On 9 September 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 the provider has established clear procedures for conducting a risk assessment of the premises before children arrive each day.

This supports the provider to be able to give greater attention to the individual care and developmental needs of each child. In addition, the provider can provide more support to children to help them to manage their feelings and emotions. The provider has reviewed and updated her safeguarding procedures and taken action to ensure mobile phones are not used in areas where children are present. The provider has embedded consistent hygiene procedures to ensure children routinely wash their hands at appropriate
