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. On 20 December 2021, the provider notified us that on 15 December 2021 a child had been able to leave the premises for a short period of time unnoticed. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of a significant event. On 10 January 2022, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit. We found that the provider had taken suitable action to ensure that the premises are secure at all times. However, during the visit we found new areas of concern. We found that during nappy changing procedures, staff do not maintain children's privacy and dignity sufficiently. In addition, records of staff qualifications were not kept and

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.
