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 a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 23 February, 1 and 2 March 2021, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 8 March 2021, we carried out a regulatory visit. During the visit, we found the provider did not have an adequate understanding of the requirements, which put children at risk of harm. We also found that effective recruitment procedures had not been followed to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. As a result of these significant concerns, we suspended the provider's registration because we believed children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for Ofsted to make further enquiries and for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children.
