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 4 December 2020, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 18 December 2020 we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We discussed this with the provider and established that they had failed to notify us of significant events within 14 days regarding persons living on the premises. This is a requirement of their registration. We have issued a notice of action to improve. This notice requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

For example, she has completed training to deepen her understanding on the wider aspects of safeguarding such as 'Prevent duty for England and Wales 2015' and the role of the Local Area Designated Officer.
