Summary of outcome

On 16 September 2025, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to changes that must be notified to Ofsted and suitable people.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 6 October 2025, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements. They had failed to notify Ofsted of any significant event which is likely to affect the suitability of any person who is in regular contact with children on the premises where childcare is provided. This is a breach in requirements and an offence.

At the visit we found the provider had failed to implement and follow her safeguarding policy. We have issued an action for the provider to take. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On the 5 November 2025, we received further information, and we suspended the provider's registration on 6 November 2025, because we believe children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 14 November 2025, the provider appealed the decision to suspend registration to an independent external tribunal. The suspension remained in place while the Health, Education and Social Care First-tier Tribunal heard the appeal. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 4 December 2025, the appeal was heard, and the outcome was that the Tribunal did not uphold the appeal, so the provider remained suspended.

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 15 December 2025, the provider notified us of their wish to resign their registration. Consequently, we lifted the suspension to allow us to resign their registration. They are no longer a registered childcare provider.

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.

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.
