Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 14 April 2026 because we believe children may be at 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.

p.2

Summary of outcome

On 21 April 2026, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last inspection. We found that the provider had improved their knowledge and understanding of allegations against staff and local safeguarding procedures. They had also improved their knowledge and understanding about how and when to refer concerns about children. Leaders had developed a system to ensure that key safeguarding information is centrally stored and appropriately shared with all those who need access to it. As a result, leaders and staff demonstrated a clear knowledge of potential issues of concern in children's lives. We are satisfied the provider has met the first set of safeguarding and welfare actions raised.

On 21 April 2026, we lifted the suspension because the provider took appropriate action to deal with the matter that led to the suspension. We are satisfied that the identified risk of harm to children has been removed.
