Summary of outcome

On 9 April, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The provider has focused on upskilling staff's knowledge and understanding of their responsibilities in relation to concerns about children's safety and welfare. This has included providing additional training to staff regarding the provider's safeguarding and whistleblowing policies and procedures. Senior management have completed spot checks and held discussions with all staff to ensure they fully understand these policies, as well as how to escalate any concerns appropriately in a timely manner. This focus has supported staff to feel confident and competent in their responsibilities related to keeping children safe. Processes for transitioning children between spaces have been reviewed, and adjustments have been made to ensure all children remain in sight and/or hearing during these times. Spot checks
