What this report says
In plain English
mixedThe nursery was found not meeting some welfare requirements in October 2026, but has since met the actions raised.
Ofsted received concerns about staff ratios and risk assessment, then visited on 1 October 2026 and found the provider was not meeting some requirements. Actions were set on risk assessment, staff qualifications and babies' training. On 16 October 2026 the provider responded, and Ofsted is satisfied the safeguarding and welfare actions have been met. The provider remains registered.
Going well
- Risk assessments were reviewed to minimise hazards to children
- Staffing levels and qualifications were strengthened throughout the setting
- Staff working with babies have received training on the care of babies
What parents should know
- Ofsted found the setting had not met some requirements, but has since met the actions raised
- Ask the setting how it now keeps staff qualification ratios in each room
- The setting can share further information about the actions it has taken
What other providers can learn
- Review risk assessments regularly so that all hazards and risks to children are identified and minimised
- Check that staff qualification ratios are maintained consistently in every room, not just overall
- Make sure staff working with babies have training that specifically addresses their care
