Summary of outcome

On 26 March 2026, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised at their last regulatory visit. We found that the provider has implemented robust recruitment procedures to ensure that staff are suitable for their role. They have verified references to ensure they are legitimate and applied for new disclosure barring service checks for some staff. All staff have completed up-to-date safeguarding training, specific to their role. The provider has implemented a bespoke mentoring programme for staff, to help them build the knowledge and skills they need to fulfil their responsibilities. All staff have had supervisions and received training, coaching and mentoring to support them. This ensures children's safety and wellbeing.

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.
