The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has not kept up to date with relevant paediatric first-aid training. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register requirements.  The childminder has gaps in her safeguarding knowledge and she is not familiar with new legislation. Not all of the adults over the age of 16 years residing in the house have had background suitability checks through the Disclosure and Barring Service. This is a further breach of the Childcare Register requirements.  The childminder has a suitable awareness of the signs that may give cause for concern about a child's welfare.  The childminder is aware of the importance of sharing information with parents to help her to meet children's differing physical needs.  The childminder understands the need to provide a well-resourced environment and to plan activities that promote children's learning, whatever their abilities, ages and backgrounds.  The childminder is aware of the importance of helping children to develop respect for

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.
