This should include, but is not limited to: • identifying clear priorities, actions, and timescales to effectively implement positive change. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I use a service and organisation that are well led and managed' (HSCS 4.23).

This should include, but is not limited to: • setting clear expectations and timelines for audits and reviews • ensuring systems include action tracking and evidence of completion • supporting staff to understand and carry out quality assurance responsibilities • introducing regular audits and monitoring to drive improvements. 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 ensure children are purposefully engaged and motivated within high-quality play, the range of activities and resources should be improved. This should include, but is not limited to: • providing daily play opportunities which interest and challenge children • ensuring resources and activities are age and stage appropriate. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'As a child, I can direct my own play and activities in the way that I choose, and freely access a wide range of experiences and resources suitable to my age and stage, which stimulates my natural curiosity, learning and creativity' (HSCS 2.27).

This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'My needs, as agreed in my personal plan, are fully met, and my wishes and choices are respected' (HSCS 1.23) and 'I experience high quality care and support because people have the necessary information and resources' (HSCS 4.27).

2. The provider should ensure that staff develop a consistent and well-informed understanding of children’s rights.
