p.1

Summary of outcome

On 29 September 2021 we monitored the provider's compliance with these requirements. We found that the provider has reviewed communication systems between senior staff to ensure that information about children is shared fully, particularly with regard to arrangements for new starters. The provider has made changes to the key-person arrangements. Before a parent leaves their child for a settling-in session the child will already be allocated a key person who will ensure that admission paperwork has been completed before accepting the child.

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied that the provider has taken appropriate steps to address the weaknesses in practice. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.
