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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 17 July 2023, we received a notification that raised concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 24 August 2023, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements but had taken action to put this right. We also found that the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a serious incident as soon as is reasonably practicable, or at the latest within 14 days. This is a requirement of their registration.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We found that following the incident, the provider took prompt action to reassess her supervision of children when she is preparing food and has assessed the potential risks during this time to ensure children are safe. She has reviewed and made improvements to the information she collects from parents before children attend. The provider has also improved her understanding of what Ofsted needs to be notified about.

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.
