Recommendation 1

1. To support children’s health and wellbeing, the provider should ensure that effective infection prevention and control practices are in place for children and changes are made to the physical environment: a) to ensure that a handwashing basin is installed and accessible within the indoor playroom to allow younger children to wash their hands; b) to ensure a screen is provided in the nappy changing area to respect children's privacy and dignity. 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). This is also to ensure that the premises are consistent with the best practice guidance, Space to Grow. This would include but not be limited to: a) ensuring personal plans reflect children's current needs; b) ensuring strategies of support for individual children are developed and implemented by staff; c) ensuring all staff are knowledgeable and understand the information within the personal plans and use this to effectively meet each child’s needs. This is to ensure care and support is consistent with the Care Inspectorate document 'Guide for providers on personal planning'. 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). i
