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 7 October 2024 the provider notified us of two significant events about safeguarding policies and procedures and staff: child ratios. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of a significant event.

Summary of outcome

On 21 October 2024 we carried out a regulatory visit and reviewed details of their internal investigation regarding both events. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements relating to children always being within sight and/or hearing and the use of mobile phones and had taken action to put this right.

Summary of outcome

All staff have received refresher training around their role and responsibility to robustly implement the procedures for ensuring the safety, supervision and accountability of children. The provider has also ensured that all staff have received training regarding the importance of head counts when moving children around the building, including to and from garden areas. Furthermore, the provider has ensured that there are stringent arrangements in place for the safe use of mobile phones within the setting.

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.

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.
