On 5 March 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions, raised at their last inspection. We found that the provider had not met the actions set in the welfare requirement notice. We have served another welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
