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

Summary of outcome

On 16 January 2023, 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. We found that the provider had taken action to ensure that a key person system had been put in place and all parents had been informed who their child's key person is. The provider had also put a process in place to review staff development. However, we found that the provider had not met the action to ensure that there is a manager in place with appropriate training, skills and knowledge. Further to this, we found an additional breach to the requirements.

Summary of outcome

We have therefore served another welfare requirements notice. The provider is required to take action within the timescales set out below. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
