Child guidance
Appeared across 6 inspections, with 13 recorded violations.
During the walk-through, one caregiver was not aware of the number of the children responsible for. The caregiver stated that there were 10 children present in the class but there were 11 children present. This was confirmed after the inspector counted the children with the caregiver present in the group and staff reported a child had been in the class for 10 minutes and was not counted. Additionally, another caregiver in another class, reported having 13 children in the group but there were 14 children present. The children in the group were re-counted with by the caregiver with the inspector and there were indeed 14 children in the group/class. One staff was not aware of the ages of the youngest child responsible for.
