On 24 October 2024, we conducted a regulatory visit and found the childminder had met the actions set out in the welfare requirements notice. Her records, including registers, were easily accessible and available. During the regulatory visit, we identified significant concerns about the childminder's honesty and integrity. Therefore, we are taking steps to cancel her registration. The childminder has a right to object to our intention to take these steps.

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.
