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.
p.1
Summary of outcome
On 14 April 2023, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be inadequate. The inspection report sets out the actions the provider was required to take to meet the requirements.
p.1
Summary of outcome
On 02 May 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 and/or learning and development actions, raised at their last inspection.
p.1
Summary of outcome
At the visit on 02 May 2023, the provider responded to the actions set. We found that the provider had improved their risk assessment processes to identify and remove all potential hazards. We also found that the provider had taken steps to provide support, training and supervision for all staff and the manager to ensure they are able to fulfil their roles and responsibilities. At the visit, we found that the provider had taken steps to deploy staff effectively to meet the minimum qualification requirements. Staff now demonstrate sound knowledge of how they should manage children's behaviour. The support and care in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities has also improved.
p.1
Summary of outcome
We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
