There have been changes in leadership since registration. However, suitable arrangements are in place. Leaders work with professionals to review and adapt plans. Some aspects of management oversight, including the timely update of risk assessments and the quality of reflective supervision, require further strengthening.

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Since the home was registered, one child has lived in the home. Staff create a warm, safe and welcoming environment. Staff and leaders carefully plan arrangements when a child moves into the home. This helps the child feel reassured and enables staff to build a trusting relationship.

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Staff promote children's interests, wishes and feelings by offering choice within the home. For example, the child enjoys growing plants in the greenhouse. The therapy and sensory rooms provide children with spaces where they feel comfortable to express themselves and develop their self-awareness.

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Staff follow the child's individual plan well. Staff and leaders ensure that the child has opportunities to understand and contribute to their own plan. This supports children to have a sense of autonomy and helps them to understand their next steps, with guidance from staff.

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Structured education arrangements support the child to take part in daily tuition. The child is enthusiastic and motivated in their learning. Staff and leaders contribute to meetings to share information about the child's needs. Staff provide varied daily routines, including physical exercise and opportunities to support their learning.

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Staff access relevant health services to meet the child's needs. They maintain regular contact with health professionals, supporting a consistent approach to the child's care. Staff keep clear and up-to-date records of the children's health, including attended appointments. Inspection report for children's home: 2841188 3

p.2

How well children and young people are helped and protected: good

Staff know the child well. They sensitively assess and plan for risks where specific concerns are known. Risk management strategies are clearly considered and regularly reviewed to support the child. This helps to reduce potential risks and keep the child safe.

p.3

How well children and young people are helped and protected: good

Staff have a good understanding of childhood trauma and its impact on children. They reflect this in their day ‑ to ‑ day care and interactions with the child. Staff demonstrate patience and use consistent, supportive approaches to meet the child's needs. They share information with professionals when there are concerns to ensure that appropriate action is taken to safeguard the child.

p.3

How well children and young people are helped and protected: good

Staff complete training that supports the safe care of children. The training programme meets the needs of the child and includes clinical training provided by health professionals. This equips staff with the knowledge and skills to understand the child's needs and deliver consistent, informed care.

p.3

How well children and young people are helped and protected: good

Staff have a good understanding of how to support the child when they are feeling upset and need reassurance. They respond calmly and sensitively to help the child feel safe and settled. Records are kept up to date and include the child's views. Managers maintain oversight and provide appropriate support and guidance for staff.

p.3

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Since the home was registered, there has been a change in manager. The current manager has submitted an application to register with Ofsted. This manager is currently absent from the home, and an interim manager is overseeing day-to-day arrangements with oversight and support from the responsible individual and director. There has also been a change to the responsible individual since the home's registration. The relevant information has been submitted, and they are awaiting a suitability interview. Suitable leadership and staffing arrangements are in place despite these changes.

p.3

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Leaders and managers recognise and consider strategies for the child through joint discussions with professionals. They work collaboratively with partner agencies to identity needs and adapt plans where required. This helps to ensure that plans remain relevant and responsive to the child.

p.3

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Staff receive supervision. However, records do not consistently demonstrate individual reflection or learning linked to staff practice or the child's needs. This limits how well learning is embedded and reduces opportunities to further develop individual staff practice.

p.3

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

The manager completes risk assessments for staff to follow. However, these are not always updated promptly, meaning staff may not have the most up-to-date guidance to respond to the child's emerging needs. Although this has not affected the quality of care provided, it has the potential to lead to inconsistencies in staff practice. Inspection report for children's home: 2841188 4
