Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 10 May 2024, because we believe 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.

We carried out regulatory visits to monitor the suspension on 10 June and 10 September 2024. We found the provider was meeting the requirements of the suspension.
