p.2

Summary of outcome

On 1 October 2025, the provider responded to the actions set. We were not satisfied with their response and therefore carried out a further regulatory visit on 19 November 2025. We found that the provider had improved their risk assessment to ensure hazards to children are minimised. The provider also has improved their partnership working with other agencies. This helps staff put plans and strategies in place to meet the needs of children who require extra support. The provider has implemented more effective recruitment and selection procedures. This helps to ensure that a quality workforce is in place to support the role of a consistent key person and meet needs of all children.

Summary of outcome

We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.

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.
