p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder demonstrates a limited knowledge of the learning and development requirements. Therefore, she does not have sufficient systems to complete observational assessments in order to track young children's progress and promote their learning and development.  The childminder fails to assess the development of children aged between two and three years and, therefore, does not complete the progress check for two-year-olds. She is unable to target necessary support and intervention to support them in making good progress.  The links with other early years settings that children attend are not established so that children receive effective continuity in their learning and care.  The childminder has a secure knowledge of safeguarding issues. She is able to identify the signs of abuse confidently and knows how to report any concerns to the appropriate agency. She holds a current first-aid qualification, so she knows how to

treat children's minor injuries and respond to medical emergencies.  The childminder has a good awareness of the importance of forming strong attachments with the children and their parents to help children settle and feel secure. Her home is a warm and welcoming environment for children. Resources in the indoor and outdoor areas are of good quality, providing children with challenge and interest.  The childminder knows how to keep children safe. She understands how to assess potential risks in her environment and when taking children on outings within the community.

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.

Provide parents with a written summary of their child's development in the prime areas  improve the two-way flow of information with other early years settings that children attend, to share information about children's progress and achievements, to help ensure the child's needs are met and to provide continuity of their learning and development.
