Sources and method

These describe the surroundings, never the site. Ofsted publishes the setting's postcode, not its coordinates, so distances are measured from the centre of the postcode, which can sit a street or two from the door. Road collisions: Department for Transport road casualty statistics. Deprivation: English Indices of Deprivation and Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation. Places: contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right (OS Open Greenspace), and National Public Transport Access Nodes.

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 Kids' Zone 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 Westmorland and Furness

Factors inside the home: share of assessments, Westmorland and Furness against England, the widest gap above England first

Westmorland and Furness England

  • A parent or carer's mental health 43.2% against 33.5%
  • Emotional abuse 25.7% against 19%
  • Alcohol misuse by a parent or carer 18.6% against 14.3%
  • Drug misuse by a parent or carer 15.9% against 14.1%
  • A parent or carer's learning disability 3.9% against 3%
  • Domestic abuse, a parent or carer as victim 32% against 31.7%
  • Physical abuse by an adult 11.2% against 12%
  • Neglect 13.1% against 17.6%

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.

  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 Westmorland and Furness, children's social care recorded a parent or carer's mental health, drug misuse by a parent or carer, alcohol misuse by a parent or carer, emotional abuse and a parent or carer's learning disability in a higher share of assessments than across England.

  4. Places and outings

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

    No public park, play space or playing field lies within a kilometre of the pre-school. No station or bus interchange lies within a kilometre. 4 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 Westmorland and Furness Safeguarding Children Partnership. The report names three local routes: reporting a concern, the designated officer and family hubs; links checked 27 September 2026.

  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.
