p.2

Summary of outcome

On 3 November 2025, we found that the provider had not met the actions set in the welfare requirements notice. We are taking steps to cancel the provider's registration. The provider has a right to object to our intention to take these steps.

p.2

Summary of outcome

We suspended the provider's registration on 21 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 had 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.2

Summary of outcome

On 11 November 2025, we took steps to cancel the provider's registration. On 12 December 2025, the provider objected to us taking this step. Having heard the provider's reasons for objecting to this step, we did not uphold the objection, so have decided to proceed with cancellation of the provider's registration.

p.2

Summary of outcome

On 12 January 2026, we issued the provider with the notice of decision to cancel their registration. The provider did not appeal to an independent external tribunal, the Health, Education and Social Care First-tier Tribunal within 28 days of the date of this notice of decision. The provider's registration is therefore cancelled. They are no longer a registered childcare provider.

p.2

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.
