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.

Summary of outcome

On 22 November 2022, we carried out an inspection and found that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be not met. Following the inspection, we served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions set out in the inspection report. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

Summary of outcome

On 9 January 2023, we carried out an unannounced 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. We found that the provider has appropriately notified Ofsted of all people aged 16 or over who work with children or live on premises to allow Ofsted to complete the relevant suitability checks. She has competed required training. This has improved her understanding of child protection issues and how to respond appropriately to signs of possible abuse. She has provided training to ensure staff working with children have an up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding issues. The provider has also taken appropriate steps to remove the risk posed by water damaged in the living room.

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions, raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
