Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right. On 27 September 2019 we completed an inspection and the provider was judged inadequate. We served a Welfare Requirement Notice (WRN). This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. We also issued a Notice to improve (NTI).
