Summary of outcome

On 24 April 2023, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit and found that in relation to the actions raised, the provider has taken sufficient action and was meeting the requirements. The provider has taken steps to ensure that risk assessments are robust so that all hazards and risks to children are minimised. Checks of the premises are undertaken every day. The provider plans to ensure she is prepared for activities and considers the needs of individual children attending. This has limited the amount of time children are left unattended during the day.

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.
