Summary of outcome

On 22 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 inspection. We found that the provider had responded to the actions set. They have improved their knowledge and understanding of their role and responsibilities as a childminder registered with Ofsted. They have reviewed the arrangements to ensure they are suitable to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. However, during the visit we found the provider was not meeting some requirements. We have therefore served another welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. Furthermore, the provider had not notified Ofsted of significant information. This is an offence, however, on this occasion Ofsted are not taking further action.
