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.

Summary of outcome

On 25 May and 14 September 2022, the provider notified us about safeguarding matters relating to staff. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of allegations made against staff.

On 3 & 7 October 2022, we carried out regulatory telephone calls. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements.

We have issued actions for the provider to take below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
