A Guildford trampoline park's childcare provision does not meet required standards, inspectors said.

Ofsted said AirHop, in Guildford's Midleton Industrial Estate, was not meeting all requirements for registration on the childcare register.

The regulator set out 13 actions, external to be addressed by the venue, which is advertising holiday camps for the summer.

A spokesperson for AirHop Guildford said additional staff training had taken place and new processes and procedures had been brought in.

Inspectors visited the site in May, and published their report on Tuesday.

The actions set out for AirHop included ensuring all staff had a secure knowledge and understanding of safeguarding policies and procedures, and taking "all necessary measures to minimise risks to children's safety".

The deadline for completing the actions is on Friday.

The spokesperson said: "Additional staff training has taken place and new processes and procedures have been implemented to ensure compliance with the majority of Ofsted’s recommendations.

"We are disappointed with some of the conclusions reached by Ofsted and we are currently in discussions with them about how these can be resolved."
