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 25 November 2019 the provider notified us about an allegation against a member of staff. The information raised concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. We visited the provider and following this visit, we served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that required the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. On 19 December 2019, we visited the provider to check what action they had taken to meet the below actions. We were satisfied that the provider has addressed all actions and made the required improvements. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
