Summary of outcome

p.1

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 23 September 2020, we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 12 October 2020, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit. Following this visit, we suspended the provider's registration because we believe children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so. We also served the provider with a Welfare Requirements Notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the
