Summary of outcome

On 28 October 2022, we received notification from the provider, that a child had made an allegation of harm against her. However, this was received later than the 14 day period. The provider has committed an offence for failing to notify Ofsted of any allegations of harm to a child by someone who works and looks after the children within the prescribed timescales.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 09 February 2023, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We also found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. The provider demonstrated poor knowledge of the action she should take if an allegation is made against herself or someone in a position of trust. She also failed to understand the local partners child protection procedures to ensure that concerns are reported in a timely manner and to ensure that children will be kept safe from harm. We have served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out.

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.
