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 any significant event which is likely to affect the suitability of the early years provider to look after children.

Summary of outcome

On 6 January 2025, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was meeting the ratio requirements that apply to the total number of staff available to work directly with children. The provider had arrangements in place for the supervision of staff who work with children. Furthermore, the provider maintains required records and these are easily accessible and available. We also found the provider has some written risk assessments in relation to specific issues. However, we found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The provider has ensured staff have been retrained to understand their safeguarding policy and procedures and that all staff have up to date knowledge of safeguarding issues. This includes ensuring that children are always adequately supervised. In addition, the provider has strengthened their arrangements for the supervision of staff, such as providing tailored coaching and training
