Childminder in Newham

Summary of outcome

All early years childminders 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 childminder is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right. On 29 July 2020 we received concerns that this childminder 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. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.
