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.

Summary of outcome

On 14 July 2026, we found the provider had met some of the safeguarding and welfare actions but not others. Leaders have completed training and demonstrate an effective understanding of safeguarding policies and procedures. They ensure staff who are designated safeguarding leads understand their roles and responsibilities. Leaders have ensured that effective records are kept when information is shared about children's safety and welfare with other professionals. However, leaders have not supported staff yet to understand the changes that have been implemented to the safeguarding policies and procedures. Therefore, as one action was not fully met, we have served another welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescale set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
