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. On 8 December 2022, we carried out an inspection and found the childminder was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be inadequate. The inspection report sets out the actions the childminder was required to take to meet the requirements.

Summary of outcome
On 11 January 2023, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the childminder had met the safeguarding and welfare actions, raised at their last inspection. We found the childminder has successfully submitted the appropriate forms to Ofsted to allow suitability checks to be completed on the assistants. One has already been completed and assessed as suitable. The childminder continues to always supervise them, and children are not left alone with any unchecked individual. Appropriate action has been taken to secure the premises to ensure no unauthorised individual can gain entry to the childcare provision.

Summary of outcome
The childminder has strengthened her safeguarding procedures and reminded all parents about the use of mobile phone and social media within her setting or while out at groups they attend. Referrals for children who have been identified as needing extra support have been made. The childminder is receiving support from the local area special education needs co-ordinator. The childminder and her assistants have completed some training, and more is planned. The impact this has on the quality of the provision will be assessed at the next inspection.

Summary of outcome
We are satisfied that the childminder has taken sufficient action to meet requirements. The childminder remains registered with Ofsted.
