Summary of outcome

On 27 March 2025, the childminder notified us about matters relating to suitable people. The notification means that the childminder met their legal responsibility as set out in the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage' to notify Ofsted of changes or a significant event. We carried out regulatory visits and found that the childminder was meeting requirements relating to suitable people. However, during the visit on 22 July 2025, we found new concerns relating to sleeping arrangements and food and drink facilities. We served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that required the childminder to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The childminder will be able to give parents further information about this.

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.
