On 30 September 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found that the provider was meeting the staff:child ratios and all children had been allocated a key person. All staff hold appropriate qualifications, and receive the mandatory training, support, and skills. Furthermore, the safety suitability of the premises, environment and equipment was appropriate. We also found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. There has been a review of bottle-feeding policies and procedures including how children's milk is to be heated when using a cup. The reviewed documentation has been shared with staff. However, we also found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We have issued actions for the provider to take.
