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 12 March 2021, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 17 March 2021, we carried out a regulatory visit and found that the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We suspended the provider's registration because we believe children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so. We also found that the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event, which is a requirement of their registration.

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 30 April 2021, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found that the provider had met some of the safeguarding and welfare actions but not others. The provider demonstrated an understanding of the staff child ratios. The provider had revised the record of children's details to ensure this is accurate and the attendance register to keep a clear record of children's hours of attendance. The provider had ensured all records were accessible and available. We therefore 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.

Publication of compliance action

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.

Publication of compliance action

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years.
