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 26 February 2020, a regulatory visit was carried out and at the time of the visit the inspector found that the provider was not meeting all of the early years foundation stage welfare requirements. The provider was working with an assistant of whom Ofsted had not been notified of, there was a new household member of whom Ofsted had not been notified of and the assistant did not have the required first aid qualification. This means we were unable to ensure that the provision is safe for children.

This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
