The Village Nursery, Shenington

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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 28 July 2022, we received a complaint which raised concerns about the supervision and safety of children on the premises. The provider also notified us of a significant event relating to an incident regarding poor supervision of children on the premises.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 12 August 2022, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We found that the provider had not made sure that all children were appropriately supervised on one occasion and had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event relating to this incident within 14 days. We were satisfied that the provider had taken appropriate steps to meet the requirements, by implementing clear risk assessments and checks when closing the premises, and by ensuring that should any significant events occur in the future that Ofsted will be informed as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than 14 days after the event occurring. We therefore did not need to take any action relating to these matters ourselves.

Summary of outcome

However, we also found that records of children's attendance did not accurately record children's time of departure, or consistently reflect the staff caring for children at all times. We have served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the action below within the timescales set out.

Summary of outcome

ensure that an accurate record is maintained of children's hours of attendance, and of the staff caring for children, at all times.
