Children are directly supervised by adults, indoors and outside. The provider understands the needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. However, arrangements for their care and education could be further strengthened for all children to ensure they make the best possible progress.

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate.

This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
