Summary of outcome
We suspended the provider's registration on 23 June 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.

On 22 June 2026 and 7 September 2026, we carried out regulatory visits. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements relating to children's safety and welfare, suitable people, staff:child ratios, food and drink, safer eating, supporting and understanding children's behaviour, safety on outings, risk assessment, key persons, safeguarding policies and procedures, toilets and intimate hygiene, whistle blowing, training, support and skills, other legal duties and information about the childminder.
