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. On 9 and 23 July and 17 August 2020 we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 28 August 2020, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We have issued a notice to improve which requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescale set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. Actions needed by 28 September 2020:
