On 25 March 2026, the provider responded to the actions set. We found that the provider had introduced recruitment procedures to ensure references are obtained and verified before an assistant starts work.

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.
