Outcome of monitoring As a result of our inspection on 19/03/2014, we sent you a welfare requirements notice. If you were set actions at the inspection, or as a result of our subsequent monitoring or investigations, these are included at the end of this letter unless we have already verified that they have been completed. The welfare requirement notice required you to: *ensure the provider, the NP, members of the committee and all staff have appropriate qualifications, skills and knowledge to fulfil their role, and they have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. *improve practitioners understanding of the safeguarding policies and procedures with particular regard to the procedures to follow should they have concerns about any aspect of the operation of the setting. *have a named person who is responsible for behaviour management to make certain that behaviour management policies are implemented effectively by practitioners, thus ensuring unwanted behaviour does not have a detrimental impact on children in the settings care. In addition to the welfare requirements notice you were also issued with a notice to improve which was sent to you separately.

Staff exchange a good range of information with parents on entry to find out about each child's individual needs and uniqueness. n Parents are well informed and involved in their children's learning. They express complimentary feedback about the level of communication received and their children's progress. n Children make good progress. Staff undertake effective observation, assessment and planning which is tailored to each child's individual needs and next steps in learning. Staff also work closely with school staff to complement children's care and learning, where children attend the out-of-school club. n Staff provide a safe and secure environment for children. n Children behave well, are sociable, and are keen and enthusiastic learners. They are eager to take part in good-quality activities and enjoy staff's positive interactions. n The provider and manager have extensive tools to evaluate and improve practice, reflected in a wide array of action plans. It is not yet outstanding because: n Staff who work with the youngest children do not consistently implement highly effective care routines to enhance children's self-care and early social skills fully, and to help them to develop an early awareness of healthy care practices.
  • St Helens 100 Years Ago – January to December 1916

    St Helens 100 Years Ago – January to December 1916

    St Helens 100 Years Ago – January to December 1916 St Helens 100 Years Ago This Week is a 1500-word article posted every Sunday at 2pm on the Sutton Beauty & Heritage Facebook Page. This document is a compilation of articles – written by Stephen Wainwright – which describes events that took place during 1916. January 1916 The year began with the annual New Year’s Day breakfasts for 3000 poor children at 12 centres in St Helens. This event was organised by Joseph Bithell Leach of the estate agency / auctioneers and first began in 1885. As well as tucking in to a substantial meal, entertainment was provided for the kids, many of whom would not normally receive a breakfast when out of school. After attending the centres, the Mayor Henry Bates of Sutton Hall visited Providence Hospital to present gifts to wounded soldiers. Also on New Year’s Day, the league match between Saints and St Helens Recs was played in a gale for 17 minutes but then abandoned. On the 5th suspicions were raised at a meeting of St Helens Council that the company commissioned to build cooling towers for the borough’s electricity plant could have a German connection. Before the war it had had a German name but now bore a “very high-sounding British title”, as Councillor Turner put it. This was 18 months before King George V did exactly the same when he changed the name of the Royal Family from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. Despite a world war being fought, the police still brought fairly trivial prosecutions.
