Recommendation 1

1. To promote consistently high-quality support for all children, the provider should enable staff to further develop their skills, knowledge and confidence in key areas of practice. This would include but not be limited to, developing skills, knowledge and confidence in relation to current child development theory and good practice in early learning and childcare. This is to ensure care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards, which state: 'I have confidence in people because they are trained, competent and skilled, are able to reflect on their practice and follow their professional and organisational codes' (HSCS 3.14).

Recommendation 2

1. To ensure personalised, challenging learning and accurate monitoring and assessment, staff should adopt child-centred planning and assessment approaches. This would include, but not be limited to: - improving and implementing child-centred planning approaches, - developing staff skills and confidence to effectively assess, support, and monitor children's progress over time. This is to ensure care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards, which state: 'I am supported to achieve my potential in education and employment if this is right for me' (HSCS, 1.27).
