Deleted App store

In an attempt to block my child from downloading inappropriate apps on her school iPad, I accidentally deleted the App Store. Can anyone tell me how to reinstate the App Store app on a 9th gen wi-fi/10.2/A13 ipad?

Reset the Home Screen Layout:

I don't have my iPad in front of me, but if widgets are not working as they should, then you may need to reset the Home Screen Layout...

Go Here: Move and Organize Apps on iPhone - Apple Support

You'd have to add back all the widgets that you can recall being back on there. So, write down what is currently on the Home Screen.

Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Tap: Reset Home Screen Layout
  5. Then... Add the apps back
  6. Any Success?
