Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 20 September 2022, because we believe children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so.

Following serving of the welfare requirement notice and suspension notice the childminder resigned her registration with Ofsted. The childminder is no longer registered.
