Summary of outcome

On 24 November 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 their last regulatory event. We found that the provider had taken prompt and effective action regarding fire safety equipment. Risk assessments, policies and procedures and food safety arrangements have been reviewed and positive changes implemented. Furthermore, during the visit, the provider confirmed that all staff did have an enhanced criminal record check but had taken action to ensure that these records are always readily available.
