Summary of outcome

On 19 August 2020, 8 September 2020 and 18 September 2020 the provider notified Ofsted about a number of issues affecting their compliance with the requirements of their registration, including health, child protection and complaints. A further notification was received from the provider on 22 October 2020, advising of an incident whereby a child had been left unsupervised within the setting. These notifications mean that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of significant events at the nursery. 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.
