 The childminder does not meet requirements.

She knows how to provide a suitable range of resources for children of different ages, backgrounds and abilities to aid their development.  The childminder recognises the importance of working in partnership with parents and others involved in children's development to provide a consistent approach and to meet children's needs. She knows the need to provide parents with regular feedback about their children's progress and the importance of encouraging them to support learning at home.  The childminder knows how to offer an inclusive service so that children learn to accept and value each other's similarities and differences.

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.
