Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 15 November 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

On 23 November 2022 we conducted a regulatory visit to monitor the actions set. We found that staff had received training and improved their safeguarding knowledge. They understand their responsibility to implement safeguarding procedures swiftly. The committee have put in place detailed procedures to monitor the suitability of individuals who work with children. Additionally, staff have reviewed the routines to support children better.

p.2

Summary of outcome

On 25 November 2022, we lifted the suspension because the provider took appropriate action to deal with the matter that led to the suspension and that they had taken sufficient action to meet the welfare requirements notice. We are satisfied that the identified risk of harm to children has been removed.
