Was going to call to view a nursery for my DD. However, I have been online and they have a recent Ofsted report that says the below. Would this put you off?

On 19th September 2024, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to risk assessment, suitable people, training and skills, key person, staff: child ratios, safety of premises and baby room.

On 7th October 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. We have issued an action for the provider to take. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the action below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

Actions needed by 27 October 2024: • implement effective risk assessments to ensure that all areas children have access to are safe and suitable for purpose, with particular regard to trailing wires in areas accessed by children, and tripping hazards posed by general clutter and toys left on the floors.

This is a regulatory visit, they are not meeting the basics. They have notice to improve, if they don’t they’ll be closed. I would not send my child there. This is not a report based on opinion, this nursery is a potential danger to children, not so much so that it needed to be closed on the spot but the people in charge of this nursery let it get to the point it’s at. Do you really want them caring for your child?

It would put me off. But if the nursery otherwise seems good I'd contact them and ask them about it, you may find you end up feeling really reassured, or totally put off.
