She has not provided Ofsted with information about all persons aged 16 years or older living on the childminding premises to enable all of the required suitability checks to be completed.  The childminder does not hold a current first-aid certificate or public liability insurance.

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.
