Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

Summary of outcome

On 9 June 2021, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 11 June 2021, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We 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.

On 9 July 2021 we carried out a monitoring visit to ensure the actions have been successfully completed. We found that the provider had provided further training for all staff and senior managers. They have reviewed their safeguarding procedures and ensure that these now clearly state their responsibilities and that all staff understand these. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
