What parents should know
- The nursery has been told to improve its risk assessments, so ask how hazards to your child are identified and managed.
- Ask what training and supervision staff receive to recognise hazards and keep children safe.
- The report does not describe day-to-day experiences for children, so ask the nursery about the actions it is taking and when they will be complete.
What other providers can learn
- Robust, consistently applied risk assessments are needed to identify and minimise hazards to children's safety and well-being.
- Check that staff are trained, supported and supervised to recognise hazards and carry out risk assessment effectively.
