p.1

Summary of outcome

On 3 April 2025, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The provider has reviewed their risk assessments for when maintenance work is carried out in the nursery. Now any maintenance work will be carried out, out of nursery hours where possible or children will be removed from the room when work is being completed. The provider has put an action plan in place to support staff in improving their risk assessments of the garden area. Staff have also received support to improve their deployment and communication with each other, when moving from one area to another. Staff have received training on how to position themselves when engaging children in activities so they can see the children and the areas of the room more clearly. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

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.
