This provision does not meet requirements

n The provider has not ensured that all of the safeguarding and welfare requirements are met. Weaknesses in staff's knowledge and understanding have not been identified or addressed. For example, staff do not have a secure understanding of how to recognise concerns about children's welfare and do not know the correct process to follow to report any child protection issues. The arrangements to monitor staff's understanding after attending training are not effective in identifying gaps in their knowledge. n Leaders understand the importance of parent partnerships and explain how they work alongside parents to receive important information, such as about allergies, prior to the session. They discuss the importance of giving feedback to parents at the end of the session to ensure that information is shared and parents are kept up to date about their child's day. n The indoor area provides a welcoming environment where children can play,
