Summary of outcome

On 29 September 2025, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last inspection. We found that the provider had provided Ofsted with the required information to complete the suitability checks for relevant people in the organisation. This helps to ensure that those who may be in regular contact with children are suitable for their roles. The provider has taken appropriate steps to improve staff knowledge of the procedures to follow to escalate child protection matters to relevant outside agencies. The provider has strengthened support for staff to ensure they are trained to implement their safeguarding responsibilities. These improvements help to safeguard children and ensure their welfare. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
