Summary of outcome

On 6 July 2023, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare action, raised during the previous telephone regulatory event. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We suspended this provider's registration on 6 July 2023 because we believed children may be at risk of harm.

p.1

Summary of outcome

Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required, while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so. On 10 July 2023 we lifted the suspension because the provider chose to resign their registration.
