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.

On 5 July 2024, 7 August 2024 and 9 August 2024 we carried out regulatory telephone calls. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken some action to put this right.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The provider had removed some staff members with lead responsibilities for safeguarding children and provided some additional training.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 5 July 2024, because we believed children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 28 August 2024, the provider informed Ofsted that they wish to resign their registration. This was before we were able to complete all of our enquiries in relation to the concerns identified, due to lead agency investigations. This setting is no longer registered with Ofsted, although we continue to monitor the ongoing suitability of the registered persons.

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.
