Summary
Childminder Talens in Leek was inspected on 30 April 2025 for registration under the Childcare Act. The inspection was an announced investigation involving document verification, a site visit, and an interview with the childminder. The childminder generally complies with statutory requirements. Two safety issues were identified and immediately resolved: smoke detectors were not installed in compliance with the Building Decree, and window decoration with loose cords was within reach of children. The risk assessment did not correspond with the actual situation. The advice to the childminder agency is to update the risk assessment. The childminder chose Gastouderbureau ViaViela because the pedagogical policy aligns with her vision. She holds the required diplomas, a valid first aid certificate, and a Certificate of Conduct.
