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 9 October 2025, the provider responded to the action set. We found that the provider had strengthened the provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities by meeting with parents and carers to review and plan support strategies. A staff meeting was held to reinforce the importance of identifying any emerging needs, and a clear procedure is now in place for developing and reviewing targeted support plans for children. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare action raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
