Bonnyrigg Primary School Nursery Class

1. To promote a well-coordinated team and clear accountability, the provider should ensure that leaders clarify team roles and responsibilities with clear lines of communication across the team. This would support the whole team to work effectively together, ensuring children consistently experience high-quality care, play and learning. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: ‘I experience a warm atmosphere because people have good working relationship’ (HSCS 3.7).

2. To support consistent oversight, monitoring and safety, the provider should ensure that audits and monitoring systems are implemented reliably. This would help ensure children’s individual needs are met and their safety is maintained. 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).

3. To support effective induction and mentoring for all staff, the provider should ensure induction and mentoring arrangements follow their own procedures and the National Induction Resource guidance. This would enable new staff to settle confidently and provide consistent, nurturing care that meets the needs of all children. 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 because people have the necessary information and resources’ (HSCS 4.27).

4. To promote staff wellbeing and confidence, the provider should ensure structured supervision, 1:1 wellbeing check-ins and regular opportunities for reflection are prioritised for all staff. Supporting staff in this way would strengthen morale, communication, professional development and would help staff feel included, valued, improve confidence and wellbeing to support improvement. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: ‘I have confidence in people because they are trained, competent and skilled, and are able to reflect on their practice and follow their professional and organisational codes’ (HSCS 3.14).

1. To promote responsive care that meets children's individual needs, the provider should ensure leaders strengthen their oversight of personal plans, including the communication records and agreed strategies they contain. Ensuring these are up to date, implemented promptly and consistently applied would help staff provide continuity of care and positive outcomes for all children. 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 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).
