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

We conducted a regulatory visit on 26 November 2020. The focus was to check the provider was meeting requirements. We viewed the premises and following the visit, the provider shared an action plan with the inspector. However, this did not detail sufficient information to demonstrate whether the provider was meeting requirements following their last inspection. The provider who is also the manager refused to engage with the inspector to demonstrate compliance with requirements.

Summary of outcome

p.1

Summary of outcome

Following the inspection, we suspended the provider's registration on 14 May 2021 because we believed children were at risk of harm. Suspension allowed time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider had a right to appeal against a suspension.

Summary of outcome

The independent external tribunal, the Health, Education and Social Care First-tier Tribunal did not uphold the provider's appeal. The provider's registration is therefore cancelled.

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.

p.2

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.
