Mealtimes have been reviewed and adapted so children are always within sight and hearing. Support has been put in place to ensure that staff promote children's positive behaviour and to help children to understand the expectations of the setting. The provider has reviewed support and training opportunities for staff to develop their practice and ensure that they are suitable to fulfil their roles. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. 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.

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years.
