On 16 April 2025, we started an inspection. On 14 May 2025, the provider notified us about matters relating to safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment and staff:child ratios. 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 a significant incident. Following this notification, we decided to gather additional inspection evidence in line with Ofsted inspections and visits: Deferring, pausing and gathering additional evidence policy.
