This provision does not meet requirements

n The setting is not currently operational and undergoing a refurbishment. In the current condition, the premises are not suitable for childcare due to ongoing building work. There are significant hazards around the premises. The provider understands how to complete risk assessment to identify and minimise hazards to children when the setting re-opens. n The provider understands signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is at risk of harm and the procedures to follow to report to the local safeguarding partnership (LSP). However, the provider's safeguarding policy does not contain all the required information to ensure that all staff will be able to make any necessary referrals. The provider does not keep their knowledge updated about the LSP's current focus so they are aware of the needs of children and their families in the local area. The provider does not currently hold public liability insurance.

There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
