Summary of outcome

On the 25 June 2020 the provider notified Ofsted of a significant event. 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 such instances. Although it was not part of the original concern, we found that Ofsted were not aware of the changes to the individuals who make up the registered provider. We carried out an unannounced visit on 2 July 2020 and served a Welfare Requirement Notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescale set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

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.
