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.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 18 September 2025, the provider notified us about requirements in relation to qualifications, training, support and skills; safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment and information and record keeping. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of any serious accident, illness, or injury to, any child while in their care, and of the action taken.

Summary of outcome

On 29 September 2025, the provider notified us about matters relating to health, and information and record keeping. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of any significant event which is likely to affect the suitability of the early years provider to look after children.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 2 October 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 took action to review the layout of their rooms including the provision of resources. They also revisited risk assessment procedures with staff. This has helped to ensure that staff are mindful of deploying themselves appropriately when children move between different areas of the room, especially when they become congested. This has also highlighted the need for continual risk assessments to be carried out to minimise trip hazards.

p.1

Summary of outcome

The provider has also taken action to review and reinforce their medication procedures with all staff. This has included providing staff with additional training to help them to understand and follow the settings medication procedures. This has helped to highlight the importance of due diligence when medication is administered.

Summary of outcome

The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

p.1

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.2

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.
