Little Rainbow Nursery Ltd

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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 20 November 2019, the outcome of the inspection was that the quality of the provision was inadequate. Consequently we served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions within the timescales set out. The actions can be found in the published inspection report.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 18 December 2019, we visited the provider to monitor compliance with the welfare requirements notice issued. We found that the provider had taken some action to comply with the notice issued. However, we have served a further welfare requirements notice. This gives the provider more time to comply with the notice. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
