They have reviewed and improved supervisions for the manager and staff, to help them understand and fulfil their roles and responsibilities. The provider has improved the understanding of how to meet the required staff ratio and qualification requirements. They have implemented processes to follow in the event of serious accidents or incidents, including the notification to other agencies. The provider has reviewed the accessibility of information and records to ensure that they are available, to those who require them. 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.
