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 2 July 2024, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be inadequate. The inspection report sets out the actions the provider was required to take to meet the requirements.

p.1

On 17 July 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare requirements raised at their last inspection. We found the provider had met some of the actions, but not others.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The provider had identified a deputy manager who is able to take charge in the managers' absence. Leaders had supported staff to make improvements to how they manage behaviour, and staff showed an improved understanding of how to record any incidents where they use physical intervention. The provider had ensured that recruitment procedures are now robustly followed, and that all adults working with children have appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service checks in place. Improvements had been made to the recording of information about accidents. All children were now allocated a key person, and these staff had begun to gain a greater understanding of their key children's needs. In addition to some of the requirements that had not been met, we also identified some further breaches of requirements.
