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. On 13 and 23 June 2025, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to suitable people, qualifications, training, support and skills, staff: child ratios and safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment.

Summary of outcome

At the visit we also found the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event likely to affect suitability of a person caring for children. This is an offence. A child was left unsupervised in the outdoor area for a short period of time. While the outdoor area is secure the requirements state that supervision of children is effective to ensure their safety. In addition, children must usually be within sight and hearing of staff and always within sight or hearing.

Summary of outcome

The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. We have received a satisfactory response to the actions. The provider has now ensured there is a level 3 qualified member of staff working in the younger children. All records have been organised and are kept on site and will be accessible for inspection. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
