On 5 May 2026 and 2 July 2026, the provider notified us about matters relating to concerns about children's safety and welfare, suitable people, paediatric first aid, and safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment.

Summary of outcome

On 9 July 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. Procedures for recording accidents and first aid given have been improved. Staff have been given additional training on policies and procedures for recording accidents. Risk assessments have been improved, and more staff are undertaking first aid training. This will mean that any accidents will be recorded more promptly and more accurately with parents being informed. This will ensure that children receive prompt medical attention if accidents occur.
