Summary of outcome

On 7 November 2025, we carried out a third regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. The provider had reviewed and altered how staff are deployed to make sure that children's care needs are continually being met. They had also strengthened the key person arrangements to ensure children's individual needs are known and met, and positive relationships are built with parents and carers. This includes making sure there is effective communication between key persons and parents and carers. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. 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.

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.
