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 1 August 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 8 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 inspection.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider has improved the oversight arrangements of visitors to the setting, deployment of staff, record keeping of the names of the children on the premises and staff knowledge of the medication policy. Furthermore, there have been improvements to staff understanding of how to help children to manage their behaviour. The provider has ensured that they comply with health and safety legislation, particularly hygiene requirements which promote children's health. There have also been improvements to staff training for special educational needs and disabilities and the provider's complaints procedures.

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.
