Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 19 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.

Summary of outcome

On 30 August 2024, the provider responded to the actions set. We found that the provider had improved their knowledge and understanding of the safeguarding and welfare requirements and now fully understands their responsibilities. A safeguarding policy is now in place. Staff have completed safeguarding training and improved their understanding of their roles and responsibilities to keep children safe. The provider has taken steps to ensure that there are always sufficient staff present who hold a paediatric first aid certificate. The record keeping systems have been improved to ensure that there is an accurate record of children's attendance. The information gathered suggests that the provider is now meeting the requirements of their registration.

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