Pumpkin Patch Nursery Steyning

This provider received a compliance action notice on 14 August 2025 following notification of serious incidents relating to children's safety, welfare, and health on 7 July 2025. The inspection identified non-compliance with statutory requirements, specifically around medication procedures and staff induction/supervision protocols. The provider has since taken corrective action including improved medication procedures, staff training, and enhanced induction and supervision procedures. However, the initial safeguarding breach and the need for remedial action indicate systemic gaps in health and safety protocols and staff understanding of critical policies. This analysis maps findings to the November 2025 framework, treating the compliance action as evidence of 'Not Met' safeguarding status at the time of inspection, with subsequent improvements noted. The provider must now demonstrate sustained compliance and embed these changes across all staff.
