Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation stage-framework--2.

Summary of outcome

The provider has ensured staff have complete additional refresher training on the safer deployment of staff and effective supervision of children in the setting. As a result, children are provided with a safe and well supervised environment. This supports staff to know where children are and provide for their needs. Leaders have improved procedures for managing published information available to parents. All information shared with families now goes through robust checks to ensure it is secure, accurate, and appropriate.

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.

Publication of compliance action

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.
