The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have a secure understanding of safeguarding matters and procedures to ensure children's welfare. She does not have a written safeguarding procedure to follow and share with parents. This is a breach to the Childcare Register requirements.  The childminder has not followed the appropriate procedures to enable Ofsted to carry out the necessary suitability checks on all adults living in her home.  The childminder does not have a valid paediatric first-aid certificate and does not have public liability insurance in place.  Risk assessments are not effective to support the childminder in being able to provide a safe environment for children, with particular regard to low glass and providing appropriate fire control equipment.  The childminder does not know how to support children's development through observing and assessing their learning, to plan and provide challenging activities.

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.
