The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has allowed her paediatric first-aid certificate to lapse. This means that she has not had up-to-date training of how to respond to any accidents or injuries sustained by children that she may care for. This breach also relates to the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder knows the correct procedures to follow to help safeguard children's welfare and promote their well-being.  The childminder knows how to assess, plan and promote children's learning in partnership with parents, to help them make good progress and promote their readiness for school.  The childminder provides suitable premises and resources to help keep children safe and secure.  The childminder understands the value of evaluating of her practice and addressing any gaps in her knowledge, to make improvements to the quality of her provision.

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.
