The provision does not meet requirements

 Although the childminder show an appropriate understanding of safeguarding and what to do should she have any concerns, she does not have a written statement of procedures to be followed for the protection of children. This is a breach of the associated requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not hold a valid public liability insurance. Therefore, does not fully prioritise the safety of children. This breach also relates to the associated requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not have a clear understanding of the learning and development requirements. Hence, her knowledge of assessment is weak to fully support children's learning and plan effectively to help them make progress.  The childminder offers children a welcoming and homely environment. She holds a current paediatric first-aid qualification, ensuring children's well-being. She understands how to manage children's behaviour in a positive and age-appropriate manner.
