Childminder in Rochdale

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 2 October 2024, we carried out an inspection and found the childminder was not meeting some of these requirements. The overall effectiveness of the provision was judged to be inadequate. The inspection report sets out the actions the childminder was required to take to meet the requirements.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We suspended the childminder's registration on 2 October 2024 because we believed children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the childminder to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The childminder has a right to appeal against a suspension. The childminder 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

On 6 November 2024 and 10 December 2024, the childminder provided evidence that they had improved their provision for overnight care and safer sleeping arrangements, in line with the latest government safety guidance. They have ensured their daily records of children being cared for, including their hours of attendance and any health and medical information are accessible and available. The childminder has ensured all adults working with children have attended training which has informed their practice and supported them to implement an ambitious curriculum for all children. The childminder has also improved their key-person system and ensured through effective training and coaching that all adults now plan learning experiences to support children's next steps. They also now ensure that adults working with children support them to manage their own basic hygiene and personal needs during mealtimes.
