Why pre-schools order it

  1. The question an inspector may ask, answered. How do you know the risks children face around the pre-school? The report is your evidence, every figure sourced and dated.
  2. A dozen sources. One report. Gathering the public record by hand takes a day or two. We do it for Ellistown Playgroup and write it in the guidance's words.
  3. Ready to use, not just to read. The paragraph for your safeguarding policy, a one-page staff briefing, slides for the staff session, and the paragraph for your owner or committee.
  4. The police record, analysed for you. The police record around the pre-school and the streets families cross come only with the report.

What children's services record across Leicestershire

Factors inside the home: share of assessments, Leicestershire against England, the widest gap above England first

Leicestershire England

  • A parent or carer's mental health 33.1% against 33.5%
  • Alcohol misuse by a parent or carer 13.9% against 14.3%
  • A parent or carer's learning disability 2.5% against 3%
  • Drug misuse by a parent or carer 12.5% against 14.1%
  • Domestic abuse, a parent or carer as victim 28% against 31.7%
  • Emotional abuse 15.2% against 19%
  • Neglect 13.5% against 17.6%
  • Physical abuse by an adult 5.5% against 12%

This describes what social workers record for the whole authority, never this setting or its children, and a higher share can reflect better identification as easily as more harm.

What the report contains

Written for the manager and the practitioner who leads on safeguarding, in the language of the early years foundation stage framework and Ofsted's early years inspection toolkit.

  1. What children's services record

    Children in need and protection plans across the authority, and the factors social workers record inside the home: a parent's mental health, domestic abuse, substance misuse and neglect, beside England.

    Across Leicestershire, no factor inside the home stood out against England in what children's social care recorded at assessment.

  3. The recorded picture around the setting

  4. Places and outings

    Parks, play spaces and stops nearby, drawn from the data for the risk assessment.

    11 parks, play spaces and playing fields lie within a kilometre of the pre-school. No station or bus interchange lies within a kilometre. 13 bus stops lie within 500 metres. These are the places outings reach and the stops families arrive by; the report names them for the risk assessment.

  5. Local safeguarding arrangements

    The partnership, the report-a-concern page, the designated officer's route for allegations against staff, and the family hubs.

    Covered by Leicestershire and Rutland Safeguarding Children Partnership. The report names three local routes: reporting a concern, the designated officer and family hubs; links checked 27 September 2026.

    • Safeguarding policy

  6. Also around the setting: roads

    Collisions in drop-off and collection hours, printed with their limits.

    The police recorded fewer than 3 injury collisions within 500 metres of the pre-school between 2021 and 2025. That is a low count for five years of roads; the record has not caught a pattern, and the pre-school's own observation of the door at drop-off and collection is the better evidence. Over the same years the typical school or college in England and Wales had 11 within 500 metres.

  • What is a safeguarding threshold document, and where is my area's?

    A threshold document, sometimes called the continuum of need, is the local safeguarding partnership's guide to when a concern about a child should go to early help or to children's social care. Every partnership in England is expected to publish one; in Wales the Wales Safeguarding Procedures apply, with threshold guidance from some regional boards. This guide says what it is for and where to find yours.

  • Is a crime map enough evidence of local risks for Ofsted?

    A crime map is a start, not the whole answer. It shows what the police record around an address; it cannot show what children's services record about harm to children, where pupils gather after school, or how the school has acted, which an inspector may ask about.
