Provider's corrective action:
- General Safety: 1. While there were 3 staff in our Toddler room with 10 children at mealtime, we acknowledge that nobody was sitting at the table with the child. We have introduced a new policy: Supervision of Children this policy incorporates regulation 23, ensuring the safety of all children who attend the service. All staff were given non-contact time to read, understand and sign the policy. All staff were spoken to by management regarding the policy and its importance. We will also ensure this is brought up at our next staff meeting. As with all new staff starting at Acorn this policy will be included within their induction email. This will be signed on commencement
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 25, 26.
