Would this recent Ofsted report put you off a nursery?

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.

From what you've written, it sounds like there was a broader complaint made to Ofsted but when they visited, they (just) found a poor risk assessment and that it was a bit of a mess. Ir doesn't say that the other parts of the complaint were substantiated so it's not clear if it's valid or not. I'd want to visit and ask them about it assuming it has other things going for it!

Same. If the visit had confirmed all the issues in the complaint then I'd avoid like the plague, but it doesn't sound like it did.
I'd probably still visit and ask clear questions if it would work well for you in other regards and there were limited other options.

Be cautious though

No way. The staff member or parent would have probably tried informally talking about the specific issues with the manager already..So I wouldn't minimise this to myself.
