On 2 September 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right.

All staff, including managers, have received training to improve their knowledge and understanding of risk assessment. The outside area has been made secure so children cannot leave the garden. Policies have been updates to provide clearer guidance to all staff about completing safety checks and ensuring accountability. The provider has systems in place to monitors children's ongoing development and ensuring they work with parents and other professionals to meet the needs of the children.
