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.

Summary of outcome

On 25 June 2026 and 17 July 2026, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to staff: child ratios, safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment and special educational needs. On 17 July 2026, the provider notified us about matters relating to the same requirements.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 19 August 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. The provider had reviewed staff deployment, particularly within the setting's outdoor areas, and had made changes to improve how well children are supervised. Staff are more aware of their surroundings and carefully deployed to ensure that children remain within sight. In addition, the provider had made adaptations to one of the outdoor areas to eliminate any potential blind spots where children may not be visible.

Publication of compliance action

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.

Publication of compliance action

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years. For further information please read the Early years compliance handbook which can be found here at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-provider-non-compliance- action-by-ofsted .
