Childminder 105784

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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

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 14 November 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 action the provider was asked to take to meet the requirements.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 10 December 2020, while routine inspections were suspended, we carried out an interim regulatory telephone call. The focus of the call was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions, raised at her last inspection.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The provider has improved their knowledge and understanding of the early years foundation stage requirements relating to their registration. We found that the provider had implemented a safeguarding policy and had improved their knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures. This includes how to respond to allegations and concerns about children's welfare. The provider has implemented systems to record accidents that may occur whilst children are in their care. They have also demonstrated suitable knowledge of what do in the event of a fire and have obtained an up-to-date first aid certificate. In addition, the provider has implemented a complaints policy to share with parents and now displays her Ofsted registration certificate.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare action 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.

p.2

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.
