Teddies Day Nursery

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 6 December 2023, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. We also received a notification from the manager. They advised a child with a food allergy had access to a small amount of food containing allergens they needed to avoid. The manager told us that the child did not require any medical attention and staff had revised their mealtime routines to address this breach. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this incident.

Summary of outcome

On 5 January 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check the provider was meeting the requirements in relation to the information received. During the visit, we found that staff had a good awareness of children's dietary needs and preferences. All children with allergies have an individual care plan, which is agreed with parents and shared with staff. The nursery has clear procedures that help to ensure children do not access foods they are not allowed. For example, children's dietary information is displayed in each room and children have colour-coded lunch cards. Managers confirmed that an incident did occur, which resulted in a child putting a small amount of food in their mouth. As a result of this incident, managers took immediate action. They have re-organised the dining tables to prevent a similar incident occurring in the future. We are satisfied with the action taken.

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.

Publication of compliance action

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.
