Childminder EY346032

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 11 June 2020 we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. We have served a Welfare Requirements Notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. In addition, we found that the provider had failed to notify Ofsted about changes which may affect their suitability, as soon as was reasonably practicable. This is a requirement of registration. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.'

Summary of outcome

We visited the provider on 18 August 2020. The provider had taken part in safeguarding training and demonstrated a secure knowledge of how to recognise a child may be at risk of harm and how to report a concern about a child in her care. In addition, the provider has increased her knowledge of what to do if an allegation was made against herself or a household member. Furthermore, the provider could demonstrate a good knowledge of up to date child protection legislation. We were satisfied the provider had taken appropriate action to comply with the Welfare Requirements Notice. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

Publication of compliance action

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.
