Summary of outcome

Between 11 August 2021 and 10 July 2023, the provider notified us of three accidents, resulting in injuries to children, two incidents where children have suffered convulsions and an isolated incident relating to a sleeping child being unsupervised.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 20 July 2023, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found that, although there is no indication that the premises are a cause for children being ill, the provider has been proactive and has taken appropriate actions in relation to the notified incidents. For example, the provide has updated their accident and injury procedure. In addition, the leadership team now also shares risk assessments with parents in order to be transparent. The provider has introduced serious injury forms in the event that a child needs hospital treatment. Air conditioning and fans ensure that the building is always maintained at a comfortable temperature. In addition, a new ear thermometer has been purchased in order to obtain more accurate readings of children's temperature. The area where children sleep has been changed and children are never left unsupervised while sleeping.

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.
