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 25 February 2026 the provider notified us about matters relating to safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment. 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.

Summary of outcome

Summary of outcome
On 1 May 2026, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. We found that the provider had retrained staff on sensory circuits and the supervision of children overall, improved risk assessments for that area, and purchased additional matting for the sensory circuit area. In addition, the provider has improved induction processes for agency staff and how all staff communicate with parents. The policy for managing how staff monitor children's temperatures has also been improved. Refresher training was provided for all staff on accident report and head injury reporting. All of this helps support staff to ensure children's needs are met and that they are kept safe.

Summary of outcome
The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
