Recommendation 1

1. To ensure that children receive care and support that meets their needs, the service should develop children's personal plans. This should include, but not be limited to, ensuring that every child has a personal plan in place withing 28 days of starting at the service. Plans should be developed with parents or carers, and they should contain support strategies that identify how their needs will be met. Plans should be made accessible to staff working in the service. 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)

Recommendation 2

2. To support children's wellbeing, the provider should ensure children's mealtimes are relaxed and unhurried. This should include, but not be limited to, ensuring consistent staff deployment during children’s lunch times. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I can enjoy unhurried snack and meal times in as relaxed an atmosphere as possible' (HCSC 1.35).

Recommendation 3

1. To ensure children's safety and wellbeing, the service should ensure that children have access to enough toilets to meet their personal care needs. The minimum number of toilets available for children aged two years and over, is one toilet per 10 children or part thereof, not fewer than four, as detailed in Care Inspectorate guidance 'Space to Grow and Thrive'. 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)
