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.

Summary of outcome

On 29 October 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. The provider had failed to notify Ofsted of an allegation of serious harm or abuse by anyone living, working, or looking after children at the premises. They also did not notify Ofsted of the action they took in response to the allegations. This is an offence. In addition, the provider did not ensure that staff effectively followed and implemented the safeguarding policy to raise the concerns appropriately. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
