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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 16 November 2020, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 20 November 2020, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found that the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event, which is a requirement of their registration. We found that the provider had taken action to meet with one of the requirements, but not others. The provider had fitted a new child-proof lock to a cupboard which stores hazardous items. We have issued actions for the provider to take where we found requirements were not met. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

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.
