Requirements & recommendations
1. To improve outcomes for children, the provider should develop quality assurance systems which will improve the quality of the provision in line with best practice. These should include, but not be limited to, monitoring of staff recruitment processes, prompt registration of children on arrival and the review of key policies and risk assessments. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I benefit from a culture of continuous improvement, with the organisation having robust and transparent quality assurance processes' (HSCS 4.19).
1. To support children’s wellbeing and develop life skills, the provider should ensure mealtime routines are improved so children have a safe and engaging experience. This should include but not be limited to; a) improving the routine to embed handwashing both before and after eating. b) ensuring all children are seated to eat with adequate staff supervision to support the social experience and reduce risks to children i.e. choking risk. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which states that: 'I take part in daily routines, such as setting up activities and mealtimes, if this is what I want' (HSCS 2.21); and 'I can enjoy unhurried snack and meal times in as relaxed an atmosphere as possible.' (HSCS 1.35)
2. To support children's wellbeing the provider should ensure that the service continue to develop children's personal plans. This should include, but is not limited to, a clear stepped approach to the administration of medication and the recording of strategies of support for individual children and the impact of them. 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 1.15).
1. By 26 September 2025, the provider must improve the safety procedures within the settings and in the outdoor areas, including the local park. To do this, the provider must, at a minimum, introduce and embed robust safety procedures to ensure that staff know where children are at all times. These procedures must be fully embedded in daily practice to reduce the risk of children being unaccounted for, to support their safety, wellbeing and protection from harm. This is to comply with Regulation 4(1)(a) of the Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services Regulations 2011 (SS1 2011/210).
