Summary of outcome

On 7 June 2023, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting one of the requirements. On 13 June 2023 we suspended the provider's registration because we believed children may be at risk of harm. 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. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

Summary of outcome

On 16 June 2023, we lifted the suspension because the provider took appropriate action to deal with the matter that led to the suspension.
