Inspection date

Previous inspection date 6 November 2015 12 June 2015

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not hold a current, appropriate paediatric first-aid qualification, as required. She has not attended recognised first-aid training for over three years. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register requirements. An action was raised in respect of this at the last inspection.  The childminder understands safeguarding procedures and knows what to do should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. However, the childminder does not have written statements of procedures for safeguarding and complaints. These are breaches of the Childcare Register requirements.  The childminder understands how to assess risks to keep children safe from hazards indoors and while on outings.  The childminder has improved her understanding of the learning and development requirements. She knows how to carry out observations of children's learning and use assessment to plan activities to help children make progress.

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder understands the importance of effective partnerships with parents and other settings to support children's learning.  The childminder understands how to manage children's behaviour positively. She shows an awareness of how to help children to build positive relationships with others.

p.1

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.
