Summary of outcome

On 5 May 2022, we carried out a regulatory visit to the setting. We found the provider had taken action to meet the requirements. The provider had reviewed and improved recruitment and vetting systems and made them more robust and notified Ofsted of management changes. Hazards had been removed and the provider had put a new risk assessment in place, to ensure potential hazards are identified and minimised swiftly. The provider implemented a new training programme to ensure all staff have the knowledge, skills, and clear understanding of their role. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. 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.
