p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not hold an up to date paediatric first-aid certificate or have public liability insurance. Her registration certificate is not displayed. These are also breaches of requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder understands the importance of making regular observations to monitor children's learning and development.  The childminder demonstrates a good understanding of child protection issues. However, she does not keep a written statement of procedures to record and report concerns, as required for the Childcare Register.  The childminder knows how to use her wide range of toys, books and equipment to support children's learning and development. She knows to provide a variety of different activities and experiences to promote children's learning in all areas.  Partnerships with parents are important to the childminder and she provides opportunities for parents to talk and share information about their children.

p.1

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.
