On 1 April 2025, we carried out a further regulatory visit. We found that the provider had ensured all staff, including those with lead responsibilities for safeguarding, had attended safeguarding training. They had implemented strategies to monitor staff safeguarding knowledge more effectively. Staff had attended behaviour management training and discussed their learning as a team. Leaders had implemented risk assessments to ensure spaces used by babies are safe and suitable. Leaders had reviewed their processes for sharing information with Ofsted. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.
