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 20 April 2023, the provider notified us of an allegation against a member of staff. However, this notification was not made within the required 14-day timescale which means that the provider failed to meet their legal responsibility to do so, as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage.
