Early Stage Care

Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage', which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

Summary of outcome

On the 8 January 2020 we carried out a compliance monitoring visit for the Welfare Requirements Notice (WRN) served on the 16 December 2019 following the re-inspection of an inadequate judgement on the 11 December 2019. We found the provider had taken action to improve staff's knowledge of wider safeguarding issues and implement effective hygiene procedures for children to help prevent the spread of infection. However, we found that the provider had failed to take all necessary action to comply fully with the WRN. Therefore, we served a further WRN.
