What this report says
In plain English
very criticalOfsted cancelled this childminder's registration after concerns about suitable people and a suspension in 2024.
Ofsted received concerns in January 2024 that the childminder was not meeting requirements relating to suitable people. After a visit and interview, Ofsted suspended the registration in April 2024 because children may have been at risk of harm. In July 2024 Ofsted moved to cancel the registration; the childminder did not appeal, so it was cancelled and the childminder is no longer registered.

Summary of outcome
We suspended the provider's registration on 30 April 2024 because we believed children may be at risk of harm. Suspension allows time for the provider to take steps to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to children. The provider has a right to appeal against a suspension. The provider may not provide childcare for which registration is required while the suspension is in place and may commit an offence if they do so.
