Summary of outcome

On 28 July 2026, the provider notified us about matters relating to safeguarding policies and procedures, staff: child ratios, safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment and information and record keeping. The notification means that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of a significant event.

Summary of outcome

On 16 September 2026, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. We found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements and had taken swift action to put this right.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider took action to reassess staff's supervision of children and has assessed the potential risks to ensure children are safe. We found that more robust procedures have been introduced to ensure children's safety, in particular at transition times when transferring children to the outdoor play area. A review, followed by refresher training of safeguarding and risk assessment policies and procedures have been shared with all staff to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities to keep children safe. The provider, with the committee of the building, immediately actioned a change to the door locking delay to be the minimum possible. Additionally, they are looking at extra sensors and further fencing to the outdoor area. This helps to protect children's welfare.

Summary of outcome

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.
