On 21 October 2020 we carried out a further regulatory visit. We have found the provider to have completed appropriate risk assessments and taken the necessary action to ensure children are not exposed to any hazards.

This means that the provider was not meeting other requirements as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage.
