On 7 July 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 the last regulatory visit. The provider had taken appropriate action by updating their safeguarding training and demonstrating their understanding. They had addressed the action regarding the premises and had routines in place to sustain these improvements. The provider was able to show a valid first aid certificate. 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.
