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 11 June 2026, the provider notified us about matters relating to suitable people, safeguarding policies and procedures, supporting and understanding children's behaviour, key person and risk assessment. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage', to notify Ofsted of a significant event that may affect the suitability of any person who cares for children.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 22 July 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.
