What does this mean for providers?
It is vital that all providers, including early years, childcare, education and social care providers, act quickly once they receive any enforcement action from Ofsted, particularly where there are tight timescales to appeal a decision. A failure to do so could put their business and reputation at risk and lead to severe financial consequences, especially where suspension of registration or cancellation of registration is pursued.
