p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not hold a current paediatric first-aid certificate. This compromises children's overall safety and is a failure to meet the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.  The childminder was unable to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the learning and development requirements for the Early Years Foundation Stage, in order to ensure children make good progress towards the early learning goals.  The childminder has a poor knowledge of the requirement to undertake a progress check for children between the ages of two and three years.  The childminder demonstrates that she understands what to do if she has concerns about a child's welfare. This includes referring any child protection concerns to the appropriate agencies and notifying Ofsted of significant incidents.  The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents and other professionals, to provide consistent care and learning to children.

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder shows some commitment to improving her practice because she has undertaken a relevant early years qualification at level 3 since her last inspection.  The childminder has resources freely available, which children enjoy to play with.  The childminder is aware of the need to support children emotionally during times of change, such as the move into her setting and onto a new setting.

The provision does not meet requirements

There were no children present when this inspection took place. 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.
