Childminder in Richmond upon Thames

Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage', which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right. On 10 July 2019, we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 11 November 2019, we made an unannounced visit to the provider. Following the visit, we have served a notice to improve. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions 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.
