What this report says

In plain English

mixed

An early years setting was found not meeting some welfare requirements, and later met the actions raised.

Ofsted inspected the early years setting in August 2026 and found it was not meeting some legal requirements. A welfare requirements notice set out actions on safeguarding, supervision, key person arrangements, behaviour management, support for children with SEND and information sharing. A regulatory visit in September 2026 found these actions had been met, and the setting remains registered.

Going well

  • Training and improved systems now identify and refer safeguarding and welfare concerns promptly
  • Supervision arrangements for staff have improved
  • Premises safety and risk assessments have been improved and are now effective
  • Information sharing and prompt referrals to other professionals have improved

To improve

  • Staff must gain secure knowledge of identifying and reporting safeguarding concerns
  • Staff must recognise patterns in children's absences and follow these up promptly
  • Staff must identify and minimise all potential risks to children at all times
  • Key person system must help children form attachments and meet individual needs
