Summary of outcome

On 4 October 2023, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The provider has reviewed and amended their breast milk and bottle-feeding policy. They have provided staff with training on the changes, including conducting more thorough checks when preparing milk and feeding bottles to babies. The provider and their management team have conducted several routine observations of this to ensure the necessary improvements are embedded in practice. In addition, the provider has reviewed their practice related to health care plans to ensure these are more specific when completed with parents. They have also provided staff further training with a nurse to ensure they fully understand how to manage certain health conditions moving forwards.

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.
