Summary of outcome

On 10 March, we received further information from Local Authority Designated Officer that suggested the provider had failed to share all the information they had in relation to the initial concern. This raised concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to Safeguarding policies and procedures. We liaised with other professionals who are investigating the safeguarding concerns.

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 10 March 2025 because we believe children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so.
