Summary of outcome

On 24 September 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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider has taken steps to improve staff supervision. The manager has developed an effective procedure for monitoring practice. She observes staff, provides coaching and meets with them individually to discuss the needs of children in their key group. The manager talks with staff about training needs to help them improve some aspects of their practice so that they are able to identify how they can meet children's different needs more effectively. Staff are provided with documents to record discussion points prior to attending meetings with the manager. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare action raised.

Summary of outcome

At the visit we found a new concern. We found that the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event, which is a requirement of their registration. This relates to the provider not informing Ofsted of a change to the person managing the setting. This was discussed with the provider and we are satisfied with their explanation. 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.
