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 20 September 2025, the provider notified us about matters relating to safeguarding. 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 a significant event.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 6 October 2025, we carried out a regulatory visit and on 23 October 2025, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to address some of the breaches. The provider has ensured that all staff have now received training to fulfil their roles. This means that where staff are required to use specific equipment for children's safety, they have been supported to do so correctly and confidently.

Summary of outcome

During our regulatory enquiries we found the provider was not meeting the requirements in relation to arrangements for the supervision of staff and medication procedures. As a result, we have served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

Summary of outcome

ensure leaders and staff understand and implement the nursery's medication policy, including to obtain written permission from parent and/or carers for every particular medication required for children.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 2 December 2025, we monitored the provider's compliance with the welfare requirement notice. We found that the provider had updated the arrangements for the supervision of staff to ensure they are effective in providing appropriate support for their roles. This included specific reference to matters related to children's individual needs. These arrangements also provide leaders with secure oversight of staff's practice and the implementation of policies and procedures. The provider had also updated the setting's policies and procedures for the administration of medication and ensured that they are very well understood by staff and leaders.

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied with the action taken by the provider. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.

Publication of compliance action

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years.
