1. To ensure children’s health, safety and wellbeing, the service should record information about accidents, incidents and ensure these records are shared with families. Leaders and staff should update their knowledge and understanding on the records they must keep and the notifications required by Care Inspectorate. The service should re fer to guidance such as Care Inspectorate (2025) ‘Early Learning and Childcare Services: Guidance on records you must keep and the notifications you must make’. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: ‘ My care and support is consistent and stable because people work together well’ (HSCS 3.19).

2. The service should ensure risk assessments are reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis and take into account changes in the environment. This should prioritise the safety and wellbeing of children. The staff team should explore Care Inspectorate’s Keeping Children Safe (SIMOA) campaign to support the service in evaluating and managing risks effectively. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards, which state "My environment is secure and safe" (HSCS 5.17).

1. Leaders and staff should review the routines of the day including gather time, to ensure that children continue to have experiences and opportunities that support their learning, engagement and age and stage of development. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards, which state ‘My care and support meets my needs and is right for me’ (HSCS 1.19) and ‘I can maintain and develop my interests, activities and what matters to me in the way that I like’ (HSCS 2.22).

2. To support children’s development needs and progression in learning, leaders and staff should develop planning for play, quality observations and effective assessments. This is to ensure care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'My care and support meets my needs and is right for me' (HSCS 1.19).

1. The provider should revisit best practice guidance ‘Space to Grow and thrive (2024) and ensure the newly installed toilets meet best practice guidance. This would ensure children's wellbeing needs were met. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the health and social care standards (HSCS) which state: ‘The premises have been adapted, equipped and furnished to meet my needs and wishes’ (HSCS 5.18).

2. To support children’s wellbeing, the provider should ensure personal planning approaches continue to improve. This would include but not limited to: a) ensure that personal plans are written and regularly reviewed with children and families, at least every six months, and when necessary, to ensure that information is up to date to reflect children's current needs, wishes and choices. b) ensure that personal plans are meaningful, working documents that support children's care needs. This should include strategies of support that are evaluated and updated to reflect their current progress. 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).

3. To support transitions and family engagement the service should provide further opportunities to strengthen the connection between families and the setting. This would offer opportunities to build trusting relationships and give more insight into their child's individual care and learning. The staff team should explore best practice guidance, 'Me, my family and my childcare setting' (Care Inspectorate, 2024). 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).
