Summary of outcome

On 25 April 2025, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their previous visit and to explore the new concern. We found the provider had not met the actions set in the welfare requirements notice. We also found the provider had failed to follow safeguarding procedures to keep children safe. The provider also failed to notify Ofsted in a timely manner of a significant event which is likely to affect the suitability of the early years provider to look after children, which is a requirement of their registration.
