Summary of outcome

On 4 April 2025 we carried out a further regulatory visit. We found the provider has made sure her premises are a safe and suitable environment for children. She has completed a thorough clean, tidy up and reorganised resources to ensure there is sufficient useable floor space. She has reviewed all her risk assessments to ensure she is able to identify, remove and minimise risks to children. The information gathered suggests that the provider is now meeting the requirements of their registration. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
