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

We found that the provider has ensured that the minimum staff:child ratios are met. Additionally, staff have been provided with training in how to deploy themselves to ensure children are kept safe and their needs are met. Staff have attended appropriate safeguarding training. Staff, including leaders demonstrate a secure understanding of the actions to take should concerns be raised about children's safety and welfare. Staff understand the importance of sharing relevant information with other professionals. Leaders have improved the processes for completing records in relation to accidents and injuries and provided staff with training to help them to ensure these are accurate.

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.
