Summary of outcome

On 8 April 2021 we carried out a regulatory visit. It was found that the provider had investigated the significant event. They had arranged for further staff training to take place and improve communication with parents. Additionally, during the visit, we found a new area of concern. This means that the provider was not meeting other requirements as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage. In relation to the new area of concern, we issued an action for the provider to take. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
