p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has not considered effective procedures for the safe use of mobile phones and cameras in her home. Consequently, safeguarding procedures are not fully secure. In addition, risk assessments are not robust enough to identify all potential hazards and maintain a safe environment.  The childminder does not hold a current first-aid qualification.  The childminder does not hold current public liability insurance.  The childminder has a weak knowledge of the learning and development requirements. Her understanding of the seven areas of learning is poor. Consequently, she is unable to demonstrate how she would plan appropriate educational programmes to promote children's progress.  The childminder has insufficient knowledge of how to assess children's development. She is unaware of the requirement to carry out the progress check for children aged between two and three years and to provide parents with a written summary.

The provision does not meet requirements

There were no children present when this inspection took place.

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.
