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 any significant event which is likely to affect the suitability of the early years provider or any person who cares for, or is in regular contact with children on the premises to look after children.

Summary of outcome

The provider has reviewed the process for contacting the Local Designated Safeguarding Officer (LADO) to ensure advice is sought without delay prior to any internal investigation taking place in the setting. They have supported staff in refreshing their knowledge and understanding of their safeguarding policy and procedures, to ensure that all staff have an up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding issues. This also includes, when and how to respond in a timely and appropriate way when witnessing any inappropriate behaviour displayed by other members of staff, or any other person working with the children. In addition, they have reissued a new employee handbook to all staff to ensure staff are aware of their role and responsibility.

Summary of outcome

The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. 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.
