Requirements & recommendations
1. By 28 November 2025, the provider must provide a written plan, including timescales, for carrying out the necessary work to ensure children have access to nappy changing facilities which comply with current best practice guidance. This is to comply with Regulations 4(1)(a) (Welfare of users) and 10(2)(a)(b)(c)(d) (Fitness of premises) of The Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services) Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/210). This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care standards (HSCS) which state that: 'If I require intimate personal care, there is a suitable area for this, including a sink if needed' (HSCS 5.4).
1. In order to meet all children's needs consistently, the provider should ensure that each child has a personal plan that: 1. reflects best practice 2. captures children's individual needs 3. details how staff will meet these needs. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'My personal plan (sometimes referred to as a care plan) is right for me because it sets out how my needs will be met, as well as my wishes and choices' (HSCS 1.1).
1. The staff team should continue to further enhance the layout of the environment and presentation of resources to support children within the 2-3 room to make choices, self-select and lead their own play and learning taking into account the pace of the day. The addition of more natural resources would lead to increased open-ended play, provide more opportunities for children to explore and engage in creative loose parts play and enhance vocabulary skills. In order to improve outcomes for children aged 2-3 years old, the provider should continue to work with the staff team to assess and improve the layout of the playroom and resources, ensuring these are varied and accessible. This is to ensure that the environment is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I am able to access a range of good quality equipment and furnishings to meet my needs, wishes and choices' (HSCS 5.2).
