What this report says
In plain English
mixedA regulatory call found the nursery was not meeting one requirement, but it has taken action to put this right.
Ofsted carried out a regulatory telephone call after the provider notified concerns about children's safety and welfare, staff ratios and suitable people. The call found the provider was not meeting one legal requirement. The provider has since introduced a single register, logs attendance as children arrive and leave, and trained staff on transition procedures including verbal headcounts. The provider remains registered with Ofsted.
Going well
- The provider notified Ofsted of significant events, as the framework requires.
- The provider took action to put the unmet requirement right.
- Staff received further training on transition procedures and headcounts.
To improve
- The provider was not meeting one legal requirement, found at the regulatory call.
What parents should know
- The nursery is still registered, but a requirement was not being met until recently, so parents may wish to ask how attendance is now tracked.
- Ask the nursery to explain the changes made to registers and headcounts, which the provider says it will share with parents.
What other providers can learn
- Keep a single register for all children and update attendance as children arrive and leave.
- Make sure transition procedures include verbal headcounts so children's safety is checked at all times.
