    Summary of complaint

    On 17 February 2016, we received a complaint about the cleanliness and safety at the premises and how staff supervise children.

    p.1

    Summary of complaint

    We looked into this concern to see whether the provider was meeting the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. In particular, the requirements relating to food and drink, suitability of premises, staff deployment and risk assessment.

    p.1

    Summary of complaint

    We conducted an unannounced visit to the premises. We found nettles in the garden area and a lack of fencing to keep children safe. We found that risk assessments were ineffective and some furniture and equipment were unclean. The arrangements for storing food were not satisfactory. Although not part of the original complaint, we also found that the first aid box was not accessible.
