On 15 May 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last inspection. We found that leaders and managers have improved their understanding of their responsibility to implement the setting's safeguarding policies and procedures. The provider has improved the recruitment processes, through training for relevant staff and ensures that records of suitability checks are maintained, as required. The provider has retrained staff on behaviour management to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities to manage children's behaviour appropriately.

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.
