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.

Summary of outcome

On 20 February 2023, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 13 March 2023, we carried out a regulatory visit. During that visit we found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We found that the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event, which is a requirement of their registration. On this occasion we will not take any further action with regard to this. However, we have served a notice to improve. This requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
