Summary of outcome

On 5 February 2026, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. The focus of the call/visit was to discuss concerns and check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions, raised at their last inspection. We found that the provider had not met the actions in the welfare requirements notice

p.1

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 5 February 2026 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.

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.
