What this report says
In plain English
very criticalThe home childcarer was found not meeting all registration requirements, with three actions set for completion by 3 December 2026.
Ofsted inspected the home childcarer on 1 October 2026 and judged it non-compliant with the requirements for the Childcare Register. Inspectors discussed the reasons with the provider during the visit. The provider must ensure a paediatric first-aid certificate is in place at all times, obtain public liability insurance, and complete the training needed to meet the registration standards, all by 3 December 2026.
To improve
- Ensure a paediatric first-aid certificate is in place at all times.
- Obtain public liability insurance.
- Complete training required to meet the standards for registration as a home childcarer.
What parents should know
- The setting was found not to be meeting all registration requirements, so it must put actions in place before its registration can continue.
- Ask the setting to confirm it holds a current paediatric first-aid certificate and public liability insurance.
- Ask the setting when its required registration training will be completed.
What other providers can learn
- Keep a current paediatric first-aid certificate in place at all times, as registration depends on it.
- Check that public liability insurance is in place before caring for children.
- Complete the training required by the registration standards and check it against Annex C of the early years and childcare registration handbook.
