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 23 January 2024 we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 7 March 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found that the provider has appropriate safeguarding policies and procedures in place and supports staff to understand them. This includes the safe use of mobile phones. Staffing arrangements are overall, effective. There is a process for recording accidents and risk assessing the premises and space available for children. Parent handovers are detailed and include the sharing of information regarding what children have eaten, nappy changing and sleep arrangements.

We also found that the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event within the required timescale, which is a requirement of their registration. The provider had reflected on their knowledge and understanding of changes that must be notified to Ofsted. They now understand that in future all changes must be notified to Ofsted without delay.
