p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has limited knowledge and understanding of the areas of learning and how to use resources and activities to provide children with enjoyable and challenging experiences. Therefore, this hinders children's progress.  The childminder lacks knowledge and understanding of how to complete observation and assessments. As a result, she does not know how to complete the required progress on children between the ages of two to three years. This means she is unable to assess children's progress to support their learning and development.  The childminder has a system to evaluate her practice. However, she has not fully addressed some of the actions set at the last inspection, in particular those relating to the learning and development requirements. Therefore, self-evaluation is not robust in order to improve her practices and outcomes for children.  The childminder has an understanding of the possible signs and symptoms which

She knows the procedures to follow if she had concerns about the welfare of a child and if an allegation is made against her or members of the household.  The childminder knows how to reduce safety risks in the home and on outings to promote children's safety. Also, the childminder's home is free from hazards, secure and equipped with suitable furniture and toys for children.  The childminder knows how to promote children's good health through daily routines, meals and physical exercise.  The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents to help promote consistent care for children between the setting and their home.

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.
