Summary of outcome

On 3 February 2023, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of this visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at the last visit. We found that the provider had improved their knowledge of what deems staff to be suitable, and able to be included in the staff to child ratios. They had ensured that staffing arrangements did not leave unchecked staff members unsupervised with children. The induction process was strengthened to ensure that unchecked staff members understood their roles and responsibility, and do not carry out personal care or work unsupervised. The manager was able to provide evidence of paediatric first aid qualifications.

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.
