Setting

Summary of outcome

On 3 March 2011, we received a notification from an outside agency that raised concerns about the suitability of the premises, environment and equipment and that the setting was not compliant with the Environmental Health requirements. We needed to investigate the concerns to see whether the provider was meeting the Early Years Foundation Stage welfare requirements relating to `suitable premises, environment and equipment'. We investigated these concerns as part of our ongoing investigation into other concerns received on 18 February 2011.

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
