All Saints Preschool

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.

Summary of outcome

On 5 July 2023, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. Ofsted also received a notification from the provider on the same date relating to an incident where a child had left the premises unsupervised. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of significant events.

Summary of outcome

On 6 September 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 raised at their last visit.

p.2

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider had reviewed and updated procedures and had trained staff in these. This included training in the emergency procedures, risk assessments and expectations for the deployment of staff to supervise children closely. Staff, including those with responsibility for managing the pre-school demonstrate a good understanding of these. In addition, new and improved fencing has been installed to improve the security of the outdoor area. New committee members have provided the required information to Ofsted to review their suitability. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

Publication of compliance action

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years.
