Summary of outcome

On 22 March 2024 the provider responded to say that relevant policies and procedures have been reviewed and shared with staff. All staff have been reminded about the procedure to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Also that the procedure must be implemented within one day. In addition, staff with children at the setting will now complete registration forms for their child. Information will also be gained from staff about any changes to their home life, including if they have any involvement and support received from other agencies. We are satisfied with the action taken by the provider.

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.
