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 10 March 2020 we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. We immediately suspended the provider's registration to allow time for steps to be taken to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. We carried out an interview to discuss the concerns and have issued a Welfare Requirements Notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
