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 18 January 2022, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 18 January 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

We took steps to cancel the provider's registration. On 23 February 2022, the provider objected to us taking this step. Having heard the provider's reasons for objecting to this step, we did not uphold the objection, and proceeded with cancellation.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 6 April 2022, the provider appealed to an independent external tribunal, the Health, Education and Social Care First-tier Tribunal and it did not uphold the appeal.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The provider's registration is therefore cancelled.

p.1

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.

p.1

Publication of compliance action

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years. For further information please read the Early years compliance handbook which can be found here at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-provider-non-compliance- action-by-ofsted .
