Summary of outcome

On the 8 August 2023, the provider responded to the actions set. They have developed a reporting process for significant incidents to ensure that should an incident occur in the future, there are clear systems in place to manage and identify associated risks. All staff have been trained in this process to ensure they are fully aware of how to prevent significant accidents and how to deal with them appropriately should they arise. Additionally, the provider has ensured that all the appropriate information has been shared with Ofsted to ensure checks can be completed to affirm their suitability. The provider remains registered with Ofsted.

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.
