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.

Summary of outcome

On 27 August 2025, the provider notified us of an incident that occurred at the setting. 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 significant events. The notification raised concerns relating to safeguarding policies and procedures, concerns about children's safety and welfare, safeguarding training, supervision of staff (Group provision only), organising premises for confidentiality and safeguarding and information and record keeping.

Summary of outcome

On 29 August 2025 and 4 September 2025 we carried out regulatory telephone calls. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put these right. Leaders and staff have completed some reflection time on how to follow safeguarding policies and procedures effectively. Additionally, they have reflected on how the sharing of information is managed appropriately. Leaders have coached staff who have now completed appropriate safeguarding training. They now understand how to follow appropriate safeguarding policies and procedures and ensure information is consistently shared in a secure and confidential way.

Publication of compliance action

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
