p.2

Summary of outcome

On 13 September 2023, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit. We found that the provider had not met the actions set in the welfare requirement notice. The provider has not improved staff and leaders knowledge of local safeguarding partners procedures to follow if a concern is raised about the welfare of a child. They also do not ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive the targeted support and intervention they need. We also found that the provider does not maintain records to ensure the safe and efficient management of the setting. At the visit we also found additional concerns about the effectiveness of behaviour management strategies, leaders knowledge of what is reportable to Ofsted and lack of risk assessments.

p.2

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 14 September 2023, because we believe 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.

p.2

Summary of outcome

On 11 October 2023, the provider notified us of their wish to resign their registration. Consequently, we lifted the suspension to allow us to resign their registration. They are no longer a registered childcare provider.
