Summary of outcome

On 4 November 2025, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions, raised at their last inspection. We found that the provider has ensured that relevant suitability checks will be completed for staff prior to allowing them unsupervised contact with children. Leaders have accessed safer recruitment training and new systems are in place to review evidence of suitability checks. The provider has implemented training programmes for staff to help improve their skills and knowledge. Staff working with babies have accessed training that covers the specific needs of babies. Procedures to ensure that staff understand children's care needs, including times when their key person is not present, are now in place. Leaders now carefully plan staff deployment to ensure that children are cared for by staff that know them well. They monitor the supervision of children and have trained staff to understand the

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.
