Summary of outcome

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

On 27th May 2022, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be inadequate. Following the inspection we served a welfare requirements notice on 30th May 2022. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to meet actions within the timescales set out. The inspection report sets out the actions the provider was required to take to meet the requirements.

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider responded to most of the actions set. She now maintains a daily record of the names of children being cared for, and their hours of attendance. She has undergone online safeguarding training to update her knowledge. She can describe signs and symptoms of abuse. She can describe how she would recognise a child that might be at risk from extreme views or exploitation by county lines gangs. She has strengthened her focus on children's risk, hygiene and care, and improved the safety of the stairs. She has reassessed potential risks during outside play. The childminder has considered the needs of the early years children attending and has rearranged the play areas for children which has improved children's concentration and language skills. The childminder has improved procedures in place to monitor all children's progress and to work closely with parents and other settings children attend, including external professionals. She has taken steps to

However, we found that her understanding of the processes available to ensure additional funding to support SEND children, has not yet been improved. The childminder has plans to attend specific training to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities at the earliest opportunity to help build her knowledge and confidence to help children make the best possible progress.
