Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage' (EYFS), 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 29 July 2022 we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. We carried out an unannounced visit and found no breaches to requirements in relation to the concerns raised. However, we found that the safeguarding policy was not in line with those of the local safeguarding partners (LSP). This relates particularly to the action to be taken in the event of an allegation being made against a member of staff. Some staff were also not very confident about how to report such concerns.

Summary of outcome

We issued a notice to improve. This is a notice that asked the provider to take the action below within the timescales set out.
