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. On 19 January 2023, we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 20 January 2023, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit to the setting. We found that there had been a breach of requirements, including a lack of supervision of children during an outing and failing to follow safeguarding procedures. We also found that the provider had failed to notify us of a historical safeguarding incident. This is a legal requirement.

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate.
