p.1

Summary of outcome

On 13 November 2024, we carried out an unannounced regulatory visit. We found the provider was meeting the qualification requirements for staff:child ratios. However, we found that the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The provider has ensured that staff are deployed effectively so that children are well supervised. Changes have been made to daily routines so that all staff headcount children thoroughly, especially during transitional times. All areas are now rigorously checked, before leaving them, to establish that all children are accounted for. Staff ensure that the headcount and the attendance register are cross referenced. Training has been provided to help staff enhance communication within rooms, so they always know the whereabouts of colleagues and children.

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.
