Summary of outcome

On 10 November 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 previous inspection.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We found the provider had undertaken professional development opportunities, such as developing her knowledge of the Education Inspection Framework. She has increased the range of outdoor resources and made changes to the curriculum she provides, to further enhance the quality of education. The provider ensures that children have access to fresh drinking water. She also provides children with a range of healthy meals and snacks, which help to promote their good health.

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at the previous inspection. However, we found that the provider has since failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event, which is a requirement of their registration. 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.
