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-foundationstage-framework--2. 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 8 January 2026, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to; concerns about children's safety and welfare, safeguarding policies and procedures, safeguarding training, training and skills (Group provision only), Paediatric first aid, Key person, staff:child ratios, supporting and understanding children's behaviour, accident or injury, risk assessment, information and record keeping and information for parents and carers.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 12 January 2026, after receiving information indicating that continued childcare provision may expose children to a risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so.

On 23 January 2026, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. 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.

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.
