What this report says
In plain English
criticalAn out-of-school day care provider had safeguarding and record-keeping gaps, which it has since put right with new policies and training.
The provider notified Ofsted in August 2026 about concerns including safeguarding policies, children's safety and welfare, suitable people, training and record keeping. A regulatory call in October 2026 found it was not meeting some requirements, but it had taken action to put this right. The provider remains registered with Ofsted.
