p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has allowed her paediatric first-aid certificate to expire despite updating her first-aid training to meet a previous action set at her last inspection. This breach also relates to the associated requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not display her certificate of registration clearly for parents to see and has not updated her public liability insurance. These are also breaches of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not ensure her safeguarding policy includes the use of mobile phones and cameras, to promote children's safety and welfare at all times.  The childminder understands the learning and development requirements. She knows how observe children and plan for the next steps in their learning.  The childminder understands the importance of working with parents to support children's learning. She knows how to promote children's good health and well-being.

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.
