Summary of outcome
On 1 April 2026 we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event. It is an offence to fail to notify Ofsted of a significant event. Following the discussion, they now understand their responsibility to notify Ofsted as required to ensure the ongoing suitability of people connected to their registration. This did not impact on the safety of the children or the running of the provision.
p.1
Summary of outcome
The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
p.1
Summary of outcome
The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
