Summary of outcome
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 21 May and 26 May 2026 we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to suitable people and staff: child ratios. On 21 August 2026, we carried out a regulatory visit to the nursery and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. Following the visit, we served a welfare requirements notice on 27 August 2026. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
