Setting 2554242

Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage . If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right. On 19 August 2020, the childminder notified us that an allegation had been made against her. This notification means that the childminder met their legal responsibility as set out in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage' to notify Ofsted of any allegations which have been made within 14 days. The childminder will be able to give parents further information about this.

While enquiries were conducted we suspended the childminder's registration to allow time for the circumstances to be investigation. We conducted a regulatory telephone interview and an unannounced visit on 11 September 2020. Although it was not part of the original notification, we found that the childminder was not meeting a requirement within the EYFS relating to certain records which should be maintained. We served a notice of action to improve which requires the childminder to:

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.
