Summary of outcome

On 2 August 2024, the provider notified us about the safety and suitability of premises, environment, equipment and staff-child ratios, information and record keeping. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of an incident, where a child required medical treatment. In addition, we also considered a previous notification from the provider in September 2023, where a child sustained a serious injury.

The provider has reviewed risk assessments to consider the needs of individual children when they are playing in the garden, to ensure hazards are identified and precautionary measures put in place. They had also identified that staff who can manage accidents must have completed a paediatric first aid qualification.

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate.

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