On 20 April 2022, we found that the provider had not met the actions in the welfare requirements notice.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 20 April 2022 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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 16 May 2022, we lifted the suspension because the provider took appropriate action to deal with the matter that led to the suspension. We are satisfied that the identified risk of harm to children has been removed. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
