Pumpkin Patch Nursery Preston Drove Brighton

This provider received a compliance action notice on 4 June 2026 following a regulatory visit on 21 May 2026. The inspection identified significant breaches across safeguarding and welfare requirements, including failures in staff suitability procedures, behaviour management practices, accident and injury reporting, notification procedures, and safer eating protocols. The provider has taken immediate remedial action including staff training, procedure reviews, and allergen management improvements. However, the systemic nature of these failures—spanning multiple notification deadlines and child safety areas—indicates fundamental gaps in governance, leadership understanding of regulatory requirements, and staff competency. This is a legacy compliance action report rather than a full inspection under the November 2025 framework; findings have been mapped to the new 7-area structure with Safeguarding as the critical priority.
