Sandfield Park Private Day Nursery

Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage 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. On 10 March 2020 we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. This was in relation to two separate incidents that occurred on the 20 February 2020 and 9 March 2020. We contacted the provider and reviewed details of their internal investigation. We found that the provider had taken prompt and effective action to prevent a re-occurrence. The action taken was to:

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate.

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