Summary of outcome

On 3 December 2021, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the childminder had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last inspection. We found that the childminder had obtained appropriate insurance for vehicles in which children are being transported, she had implemented a more regular cleaning schedule to ensure the areas used by children are suitably clean and hygienic and had a policy in place for the administration of her own medication while she is minding children. The childminder had also reviewed her risk assessment; she now keeps an accurate record of complaints and is clear on the procedure to follow in the event of allegations or any behaviours that may pose a risk to children.
