Summary of outcome

On 13 July 2022, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 14 July 2022 we received additional information relating to the providers practice which was also considered as part of the inspection. The inspection resulted in an inadequate grading. Following the inspection, we served a welfare requirements notice on 28 July 2022. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

p.2

Summary of outcome

On 10 August 2022, the provider responded to the actions set. We found that the provider had improved their knowledge and understanding of the importance of respectful working partnerships with parents. The provider has reviewed systems for sharing essential information with parents, such as accident reports. Staff have attended training which has helped them to understand how to provide a more enabling, effective learning environment for children. Staff now feel more equipped to support children through behaviour management. The provider now ensures that any risks to children are swiftly identified and rectified. Furthermore, effective short-term solutions are now in place to ensure children have access to hot, running water, while the provider awaits long-term maintenance work on the boiler system.

On 9 December 2022, we told the provider that we would be serving a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions above within the timescales set out. We also told the provider we would be considering taking steps to cancel their registration. On 21 December 2022, the provider resigned their registration and so the welfare requirement notice was not served. The provider is no longer 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.
