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 does not have a secure understanding of the learning and development requirements and, as result, she is unable to plan challenging activities that promote children's progress across all areas effectively. This demonstrates the childminder's weak self-evaluation systems to monitor her practices and their impact on children's learning experiences.  The childminder has attended mandatory training, including first aid and safeguarding, so she can support children's well-being.  The childminder understands her role in safeguarding children. She is aware of the signs and symptoms that may cause concern and what to do if she is concerned about children's welfare. She carries out appropriate risk assessments for her home and for outings.  The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents, to keep them up to date with their children's care and learning needs.

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.
