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 8 October 2021 we received a notification from the provider that indicated that they were not meeting some of these requirements. On 25 January 2022, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The provider has improved their risk assessment and procedures for managing the regular outings they do to ensure children are safe. This includes regular head counts of children and working to higher than required staff to child ratios during the outdoor activities in the woods. The provider has improved how they keep records of key policies to ensure the needs of all children are met. They now share information with parents so they know about the procedures staff will follow in the event of a child going missing.

Summary of outcome

The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.
