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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 1 May 2024, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 20 June 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 concerns received.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We found that adult-to-child ratios are met and sufficient staff caring for children are qualified. The nursery premises are secure and effective procedures are in place to ensure children's safety in the event of an emergency evacuation. Children are provided with wholesome meals, which helps to promote their good health. In addition, effective hygiene practices help to minimise the risk of cross-infection. For example, children's bathrooms are well stocked with toiletries, such as hand soap and drying facilities. Staff work closely with parents. They provide guidance to help promote children's communication and language skills. Staff also seek parental consent before taking children on any outings.

Summary of outcome

During the visit, we found the provider did not inform Ofsted about new directors, which is a requirement of their registration. The provider will be able to give parents further information about these points. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
