Summary of outcome

We found that the childminder has improved their knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures and fully understand their responsibilities. The childminder has provided Ofsted with the required information so that checks can be undertaken to establish the suitability of all household members. An accurate daily record is now maintained of the names of the children being cared for including their hours of attendance. Records of all accidents, incidents and existing injuries are accurately maintained. The childminder has completed a paediatric first aid qualification. The childminder has reviewed hygiene practices and has taken action to reduce the risk of cross contamination. The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with other setting's that children attend. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. 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.
