Moorpark Early Learning and Childcare Centre

1. In order to meet all children's needs, the team should ensure care plans identify appropriate next steps and strategies to meet children's individual needs, support progress and help children to achieve their full potential. 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)

2. The senior leadership team should improve the medication procedures in the setting. They should review the process for recording, storing, and auditing medication in the setting. They should refer to the Care Inspectorate's Management of medication in daycare of children and childminding services. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: "I experience high quality care and support based on relevant evidence, guidance and best practice" (HSCS 4.11).

1. To ensure the continuous high-quality care for children, the manager should implement a robust quality assurance system to monitor delegated responsibilities and tasks are completed in line with the services policies and good practice guidance. This should include, but not be limited to, monitoring children’s personal plans, next steps and strategies, medication, and observations of the environment. 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).

2. To ensure children receive responsive care and support, the senior leadership team should make appropriate notifications to the Care Inspectorate when certain events take place. Management should refer to good practice guidance, “Early learning and childcare services: Guidance on records you must keep and notifications you must make” to identify events that require them to notify the Care Inspectorate and the timescales to adhere to. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards which state: "I benefit from different organisations working together and sharing information about me promptly where appropriate, and I understand how my privacy and confidentiality are respected" (HSCS 4.18).
