Extracts from the recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024
“Children enjoy spending time with staff who provide stability and routine. During the inspection children were having fun with staff in the home making dens. These positive relationships help children to trust the adults who provide care for them.”
“Staff also support the children to develop their self-care and independence skills. One child said, ‘Staff walked with me to school, but now I have learned to walk there safely on my own’ .”
“Staff work consistently to ensure that they follow children’s specific diets that are in line with their health care plans. This has led to childrens health improving significantly.”
“Staff are well equipped to meet the childrens complex health needs. Parents trust the staff to care for their children when their medical needs change suddenly. A nurse who supports the staff in the home said, ‘The staff manage [child’s name] really well, they have come on leaps and bounds’.”
“Despite the health needs of some children, which place restrictions on their daily activities, the staff are committed to ensuring that children lead a full and active life.”
“Supervision sessions are up to date and reflective. They provide staff with up-to-date information on the children. This means that the staff are aware of the children’s ever changing needs.”
