Childminder in Derbyshire

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 24 October 2022, the provider notified us of information affecting her registration. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of information regarding associations.

Summary of outcome

On 9 December 2022, we carried out an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be not met. The inspection report sets out the actions the provider was required to take to meet the requirements. Following the inspection, we served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the required action within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

Summary of outcome

On 9 February 2023, we carried out a regulatory visit and on 27 February 2023, we carried out further regulatory activity. The focus of the visit and activity was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last inspection. We found that the provider had improved their knowledge and understanding of child protection and now fully understands their responsibilities. They had put systems in place to make sure necessary information and records were maintained. They had adequate and appropriate fire control equipment in place. Finally, they had obtained a paediatric first-aid qualification.

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still 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.
