She describes how she has reorganised the playroom to give children increased space and learning opportunities. n The provider describes the steps she has taken to ensure that the premises are not accessible to unauthorised persons.

This provision does not meet requirements

There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
