Summary of outcome

On 15 September 2020, we received concerns that this provider was not meeting some of these requirements. We carried out an unannounced visit on 21 September 2020. During the visit we found that the provider had not completed effective risk assessments to ensure that all hazards to children were minimised or removed. We also found that not all equipment used by children was kept clean and hygienic. Following this visit, we served the provider with a Welfare Requirements Notice that requires them 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.

Publication of compliance action

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years commencing on the date we complete our investigation.
