Summary of outcome

On 15 July 2026, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. In addition, the provider shared relevant documents and updates on 21, 23 and 29 July 2026. 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 for staff on the provider's safeguarding policy and updated whistleblowing policies and procedures. The provider has ensured that staff have revisited the setting's policies and procedures for reporting accidents and injuries. The provider has also strengthened their procedures for safer recruitment, including obtaining suitable references, to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. These actions have supported staff to feel confident and competent in their roles and responsibilities for keeping children safe.
