p.1

Summary of outcome

On 18 July 2023, we suspended the registration of the setting because we believed children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. Providers may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so.

Summary of outcome

We took steps to cancel the provider's registration. On 8 November 2023, the provider objected to us taking this step. Having heard the provider's reasons for objecting to this step, we did not uphold the objection, so have decided to proceed with cancellation.

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.

p.1

Publication of compliance action

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.
