Summary of outcome

The provider responded to Ofsted to say that they had updated their safeguarding children policy and procedure and had also ensured a record of any physical intervention is now in place. The provider is researching how to develop and support children's personal, social and emotional skills as well as how to manage children's behaviour in appropriate ways. They are also seeking advice and ideas from other childminders, in order to increase their own knowledge and understanding. We are satisfied with the actions taken by the provider and they remain 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.
