Summary of outcome
On 26 June 2026, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to safeguarding policies and procedures and whistleblowing. On 6 August 2026, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We also found that the provider had not met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of significant events concerning matters affecting the welfare of children. We have issued actions for the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
