On 5 May 2021, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We have served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that 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. Additionally, we found that the provider had failed to notify us of an allegation against a member of staff. This is a requirement of registration. We took no further action as the provider is now clear on the requirement to notify Ofsted in the future.
