Summary of outcome

On 20 May 2026, we carried out a regulatory visit. We found the provider had failed to notify Ofsted of changes to the persons aged 16 years or older living on the premises, which is a requirement of their registration. We also found the provider was not meeting other requirements. We served a welfare requirements notice. This is a legal notice that requires the provider to take the actions below within the timescales set out. The provider will be able to give parents further information about this. Actions needed by 2 June 2026:

p.1

Summary of outcome

On 3 June 2026, we carried out an inspection. W e found that the provider had met the actions set in the welfare requirement notice. The provider has reduced the number of children on roll to ensure required ratios are adhered to on a daily basis. This has also enabled the provider to ensure there is adequate equipment available and she has also taken steps to promote children's independence at mealtimes. The report card and inspection outcome will be published in due course . The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.
