All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider had taken effective action in order to met the actions set. They had made immediate changes to the risk assessments and outside play spaces. They had also made changes to the nappy changing area and procedures. Since the inspection, the manager has been working with the local authority early years team. She is in the process of completing training for safer staff recruitment and safeguarding. Staff have also carried out safeguarding training. Training has also being completed to bring about improvements to the key person system and the care of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They have further training planned to embed this new practice further. This promotes children safety.

We are satisfied that the provider has put systems in place to meet the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. We will assess the impact of these training events when we complete the re-inspection. 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. 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.
