Childminder in Bolton

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.

Summary of outcome

On 5 April 2024, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. On 16 May 2024, we completed an inspection and found the provider was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be not met requiring enforcement action. We sent the provider a welfare requirement notice to comply with the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take actions within the timescales set out. The inspection report sets out the actions the provider was required to take to meet the requirements.

Summary of outcome

On 24 June 2024, we carried out a regulatory visit to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at the inspection. We found the provider had ensured the daily record of attendance contains the names of the children being cared for on the premises and their hours of attendance. She has collated the required information about each child she cares for and ensured that the vehicle used to transport children is appropriately insured for business use. She has worked with the local authority to improve her knowledge of how to manage allegations against adults, including how to report these to the appropriate agencies.

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.
