Summary of outcome

On 16 July 2026, the provider responded to the actions set. We found that the provider had reviewed staffing arrangements and monitored the effectiveness of these, all staff have reviewed behaviour management policies and refreshed positive behaviour strategies, including the role of the key person. The provider has provided staff with further training opportunities to become more confident and consistent when supporting children with additional needs. This helps to support all children's safety and wellbeing, including those with additional needs. 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.
