a) Promoting opportunities for developing children's social language and communication skills.

b) Carrying out regular audits of mealtimes. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I can enjoy unhurried snack and mealtimes in as relaxed an atmosphere as possible' (HSCS 1.35).

Recommendation 2

1. To support children's health and wellbeing, the provider should improve infection prevention and control procedures. This should include, but is not limited to ensuring: a) Children can access the bathroom independently and safely. b) Children have more immediate access to handwashing facilities. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I can easily access a toilet from the rooms I use and can use this when I need to' (HSCS 5.2).
