Summary of outcome

On 21 May 2026, the provider responded to the actions set through 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 demonstrated an understanding of her role in providing high quality care for children, including attending training courses and demonstrating professional partnership and conduct. The provider had also enhanced and strengthened risk assessments, including managing transition times to help ensure children of all ages are well supervised and safe. Additionally, the provider had implemented additional systems for storing confidential information and recording complaints in line with requirements. These measures support children's wellbeing and safety at the setting.
