This inspection: Not met

Previous inspection: Satisfactory 3 The setting does not meet legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has insufficient knowledge of the Local Safeguarding Children's Board procedures for acting on concerns about a child's welfare. She does not have a policy regarding use of mobile phones and cameras, which is also a requirement.  The childminder does not have a valid paediatric first-aid certificate. This fails to promote children's well-being and is a breach of the Early Years Register and the associated requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not have sufficient understanding of how to complete assessments of children's progress in order to plan for their individual learning needs.  The childminder has failed to notify Ofsted of the birth of her second child. This is a breach of requirements but Ofsted does not intend to take any action on this occasion.  The childminder has good knowledge and understanding of how to support children's learning through activities such as cooking, gardening, arts and crafts, and role play.

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.
