Summary of outcome

Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills is leading Ofsted's work into how regulated early years and childcare providers in England have delivered child- centred practice and care within the context of the restrictions placed on society during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. 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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 4 December 2019, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be inadequate. The inspection report sets out the actions the provider was asked to take to meet the requirements.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 1 October 2020, while routine inspections were suspended, we carried out an interim visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last inspection. We found that the setting has strengthened recruitment systems to ensure that the suitability of all staff and volunteers is thoroughly checked. The induction systems have been reviewed to ensure all practitioners and volunteers have a robust induction to support their understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Leaders, practitioners and volunteers have a thorough and up-to-date knowledge of their responsibility to safeguard children and know how to identify any concerns about the welfare of children and the procedures to follow should the need arise. We found information about children's health is considered fully and that appropriate action is taken to ensure that each child's individual health needs are consistently met.

Furthermore, effective arrangements are in place to communicate with parents and other relevant professionals to share information where necessary to meet children's individual care needs.

Summary of outcome

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.

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.
