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 25 November 2025, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to Staff: child ratios, toilets and intimate hygiene and safer eating.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 16 January 2026, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The inspection outcome urgent improvement in all areas of the inspection framework. We suspended the provider's registration on 16 January 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. Following the inspection, we 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.
