The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder could not provide a current paediatric first-aid certificate. This is also a breach the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder's knowledge of the learning and development requirements are weak. She is not aware of how to use observations to assess children's development or plan challenging activities to ensure their ongoing progress.  Although the childminder understands the need to keep parents informed of children's care routines, she does not recognise the importance of sharing information about children's learning and development to support their learning at home or in other settings.  The childminder has a suitable knowledge of how to safeguard children and knows what to do if she has concerns about a child's welfare.  The childminder understands how to promote children's behaviour, for example through being a positive role model and helping them to share and take turns.

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.
