Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage . 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 October 2022, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be inadequate. The inspection report sets out the actions the provider was required to take to meet the requirements.

Summary of outcome

On 5 December 2022, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last inspection.

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider has responded proactively to the inspection outcome. They have taken action to address the concerns raised and improve.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The environment is safe and well organised. Risk assessments have been reviewed and all risks to children's health and safety identified and swift action taken to remove or minimise hazards. We found children are adequately supervised, including while eating, and additional training means managers and staff are now able to identify and reduce potential choking hazards.

Summary of outcome

Managers have provided staff training on appropriate behaviour management strategies and these are being used to promote positive behaviours. Managers have also updated staff's knowledge and understanding of child protection focusing on enabling them to identify signs of possible abuse and neglect at the earliest opportunity and to respond in a timely and appropriate way.

Summary of outcome

Finally, record keeping has improved. A review of accident, incident and injury procedures means all incidents, accidents and injuries are recorded and parents are notified on the same day or as soon as reasonably practical as required. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
