On 1 August 2025, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We have issued actions for the provider to take within the timescales set out. Furthermore, we found the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a previous significant event within the required timescale and had not notified Ofsted of an allegation made against a member of staff. These are both offences, however, on this occasion Ofsted are not taking further action. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
