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

On 16 July 2025, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to safeguarding, children's safety and welfare and reporting changes that must be notified to Ofsted.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 23 July 2025, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The childminder has improved her risk assessments regarding children always being within sight and sound especially when outside of the premises.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We also found the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event. It is an offence to fail to notify Ofsted of a significant event. Following the discussion, they now understand their responsibility to notify Ofsted as required and improved their understanding regarding what a significant event is.

Summary of outcome

The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

Summary of outcome

The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.

p.1

Publication of compliance action

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.
