Norbreck Happy Days Nursery

Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage . If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right. On 24 June 2020, we received information which raised concern that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. We also received a notification from the provider of a significant event which related to safeguarding and suitability matters. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider had met some of the safeguarding and welfare requirements but not others. We found the manager to have a secure understanding of procedures for managing allegations to help safeguard children in the setting. The manager understood risks to children and the safe management of visitors to the setting. The safety of children attending the setting had not been compromised.

Summary of outcome

As a part of our enquiries, we found that the provider had not notified Ofsted when the significant event was first known to them. Additionally, they had not notified Ofsted when there had been a change in the directors who make up the company who provide the childcare. These notifications are a requirement of registration. Also, as part of our enquiries, we found weaknesses relating to the provider's understanding of wider safeguarding issues. We sent the provider a letter setting out the action that we have asked them to take.

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.
