The provision meets requirements

 The childminder demonstrates a suitable understanding of how to promote children's good health and well-being. She has given appropriate consideration to the support for children as they start at the setting and then move on to school.

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.
