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 06 March 2020, the provider notified us of a serious incident with regards to supervision of children in their care. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the early years foundation stage welfare requirements to notify Ofsted of serious incidents. The provider will be able to give parents further information regarding this. We telephoned the provider on 13 March 2020 to discuss the notification in further detail and to see whether they were meeting the requirements specifically relating to Premises; Staff deployment; Child supervision; Staff training, support

Summary of outcome

and skills, Behaviour management; Risk assessment; General Information and Records and Changes to be notified to Ofsted. We found that although a breach of requirements occurred the provider has acted swiftly to investigate the situation thoroughly and has taken appropriate action to put things right. For example, the provider has changed dropping off and collection procedures to and from the attached school and she has put numerous other measures in place to improve practice. The provider has also provided staff with further support and training in light of the incident to help prevent reoccurrence. Therefore, Ofsted will take no further action. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
