Summary of outcome
All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

Summary of outcome
On 22 December 2025, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the childminder was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken action to put this right. We found that the childminder had not ensured she held a current paediatric first aid qualification at all times but has since corrected this oversight. The childminder had not been following the requirements for leaving assistants in sole care of children. The childminder has since reviewed her procedures for leaving and assistants to ensure she is meeting the requirements. During the call we identified a further breach to a requirement and have issued an action for the provider to take. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this.
