We found that the provider has taken steps to ensure staff complete training in relation to the safeguarding policy and procedures, including for whistleblowing and who they must report their concerns to at any time. Staff have received training for appropriate management of children's behaviour and appropriate handling of children. Management have addressed their responsibility to ensure notification of required matters are shared with relevant agencies within a timely manner, especially when there is no reasonable excuse. 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.
