Summary of outcome

On 8 May 2025 we carried out a regulatory visit. In relation to the notification, we found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The provider had thoroughly investigated the significant event. They have provided further training for staff in relation to the action that they should take in the event of a medical emergency. All staff have been reminded of the nursery's health policies and their responsibilities to ensure that the appropriate medical attention is more quickly sought in such an event. The provider is following their own internal processes in relation to staff who have not complied with the setting's own policies and procedures in relation to health. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

On 20 May 2025 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 the previous visit. We found that the provider has ensured that all areas of the nursery, including kitchen areas have been maintained to remain suitably clean, tidy and hygienic. They have ensured that all staff have received targeted supervisions, and robust rotas and cleaning routines are in place, to support staff to carry out their roles and responsibilities in contributing to the ongoing cleanliness and hygiene of the nursery.
