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 26 October 2022, the provider notified us that a child had sustained an injury while having their nappy changed. First aid was initially administered, and no injury was found at that time. However, the provider was later notified of a significant injury. 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 any serious accident, illness or injury to, or death of any child while in their care, and of the action taken.

Summary of outcome

On 8 November 2022, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting one of the requirements relating to the changing of children. The procedure put in place by the provider, for delivering personal care to children, on one occasion, had not had all the steps followed. For example, nappy changing equipment such as wipes and gloves were not gathered sufficiently prior to using. The strap provided on the changing unit , which secures a child in place, had not been used, despite being included in the provider's procedures.

Summary of outcome

The provider has taken action to rectify this by revisiting the procedures with staff and ensuring compliance with the policy for personal care. As a result, no further action was required by Ofsted.

Summary of outcome

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.
