Summary of outcome

On 10 December 2025, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. The focus of the call was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last regulatory event. The provider has completed refresher training to update their knowledge of first aid and how to respond in a medical emergency. They have reviewed their risk assessments to ensure that children remain in sight and are well supervised on outings. The provider has purchased new first aid equipment, and put in place a system to ensure that this is checked and updated as required. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. 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.
