The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has failed to complete actions raised at the last inspection and does not meet all requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Childcare Register. She does not hold a valid paediatric first-aid certificate, or relevant public liability insurance. This compromises children's overall safety and welfare.  The childminder understands the need to evaluate her practice to drive improvement. She has identified her failure to meet requirements but has not taken sufficient action to rectify this.  The childminder knows how to identify and report any concerns about a child's welfare.  The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents and other professionals to provide children with continuity of care and learning.  The childminder understands how to assess children's progress and the requirement to complete a progress check for two-year-old children. She knows how to use

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.
