Summary of outcome

The provider responded on 11 June 2026. The provider reviewed practice by updating key policies, completing audits, introducing guidance and ensuring all staff have been trained, signed policies and had their knowledge checked through meetings, questionnaires and supervision. The provider has also improved oversight and consistency through supervision, regular monitoring, observations, risk assessments and ongoing leadership checks to ensure staff implement safeguarding, safe sleep and risk management procedures inappropriately to keep children safe. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

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.
