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.

On 21 September 2022, the provider notified us that a child was able to get out into the front garden unsupervised.

We found that the provider had taken some action and had erected further fencing to prevent children accessing the front garden entrance. However, we also found the provider was not meeting some of the other requirements. We have issued actions for the provider to take.

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.
