Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (EYFS)', 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. On 6 March 2020, the provider notified us that an incident had occurred at the setting. This meant that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage' to notify Ofsted of significant events. We spoke to the manager about the incident on 10 March 2020 and 11 March 2020 and found that they were not meeting some of the other EYFS requirements. We have served 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

Publication of compliance action

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
