p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have evidence that she has a current paediatric first-aid certificate and this compromises children's safety. This is a breach of the requirements of the Early Years Register and the associated requirements of the Childcare Register. This was also set as an action at her last inspection.  The childminder does not hold public liability insurance. This is a breach of the requirements of the Early Years Register and the associated requirements of the Childcare Register. This does not safeguard children.  The childminder has not ensured that the necessary forms have been completed, so that Ofsted can check the suitability of persons over the age of 16 living on the premises. This is a breach of the requirements of the Early Years Register and the associated requirements of the Childcare Register. This puts children at risk.  The childminder has relevant age-appropriate resources. She understands the

requirements for learning and development; including completing a progress check for two-year-old children. This enables her to promote children's learning.  The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents and other professionals, and providers to support children's care needs.  The childminder understands the need to evaluate her practice in order to identify areas for development. However, she is unable to identify all weaknesses and take steps to address them.

The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
