Summary of outcome

On 18 February 2025, we carried out a compliance 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 had met the actions set in the welfare requirement notice. The provider had worked closely with the local authority and has increased the amount of oversight they have of the nursery to ensure requirements are met.

They have taken swift action to ensure all children are assigned a key person. They have reviewed the key person policies with staff and introduced a new secondary key person system to ensure children's care and learning is tailored to their individual needs. The provider has reviewed the procedures for the deployment of staff to ensure staff are deployed effectively to meet the education and care needs of all children. The setting has a trained special educational needs coordinator who has accessed a range of training. They link with the other agencies to support them in meeting the individual needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have reviewed all of the targeted support and interventions to ensure all children with SEND are supported to make good progress in their learning.
