very criticalThe nursery has been served a welfare requirements notice after inspectors found safeguarding and other legal requirements not met.

- Implement robust risk assessment arrangements to support children's health and safety at all times.
What parents should know

- Ask how the setting controls the use of mobile phones by staff and how staff are deployed to keep children safe.

What other providers can learn

- Review manager induction, supervision and deployment arrangements so staff are supported and children's needs are met.
