New Road Children's Day Care

Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 2 July 2025, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 2 July 2025 because we believed children may have been 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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The report and inspection outcome will be published in due course. However, following the inspection, we served welfare requirements notices on 3 July 2025 and 4 July 2025. These are legal notices that require the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

Summary of outcome

On 10 July 2025 and 15 July 2025, we carried out regulatory telephone calls to the provider. On 14 July 2025 we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the calls and the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last inspection and set out in the welfare requirements notices.

p.2

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider has improved staff and leaders' knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures and how to alert the relevant authorities when concerns arise about children's welfare. This includes when children display behaviours that may cause concern. We also found that risk assessments and support plans have been put in place for when children display challenging behaviour that may cause themselves harm. We also found that the first-aid policy has been updated and that leaders and staff are clear about the action they need to take if a child has a serious injury. The information gathered suggests that the provider is now meeting the requirements of their registration.

p.2

Summary of outcome

On 15 July 2025, we lifted the suspension because the provider took appropriate action to deal with the matter that led to the suspension. We are satisfied that the identified risk of harm to children has been removed.

The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
