Summary of outcome

We will monitor the provider's response to ensure the actions are successfully completed. On 12 June 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. We found that the provider has ensured that the required suitability checks for adults working or living in the home have been submitted. The provider and their assistants have attended first aid training. The provider has ensured that assistants have the knowledge they need to respond to safeguarding concerns and has reviewed their practices in relation to supervising children while eating. The provider understands that any exemptions to the ratios must not have a negative impact on children being cared for, and has suitable hygiene routines in place. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
