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 2 March 2026, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to safeguarding policies and procedures, children's learning and development, concerns about children's safety and welfare, training and skills, food and drink, toilets and intimate hygiene.

Summary of outcome
On 27 March 2026, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements relating to children's learning and development, training and skills and toilets and intimate hygiene. During the visit we found a new area of concern. This means that the provider was not meeting other requirements as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage. We have issued actions for the provider to take. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
