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 2 October 2023, the provider notified us of an incident that had occurred regarding the management of children's food intolerances. 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 24 October 2023, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The provider has conducted a thorough investigation, including speaking to all staff including the cook and the deputy manager. The provider has ensured that the nursery procedures for managing children's dietary needs are in place and effectively implemented in practice. The nursery manager has delivered training during a team meeting to refresh all staff on these procedures to ensure they are clear about them. Furthermore, the nominated individual has completed spot checks and spoken with staff about children's allergies and dietary needs. New measures are in place to ensure that no child has access to food that they can self- serve without direct staff supervision and support to facilitate this. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. 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.
