p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has failed to address the actions from the previous inspection. She demonstrates a lack of commitment and willingness to improve her knowledge and skills. This has resulted in a number of legal requirements not being met, some of which also relate to the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder has not maintained a current paediatric first-aid qualification and does not have public liability insurance. She does not know how to respond to complaints, how to record children's attendance and what information she must record about each child. Consequently, the childminder does not demonstrate an understanding of how to promote children's physical well-being and safety.  The childminder has little understanding of the learning and development requirements. She does not know the different ways children may learn. She does not demonstrate an ability to promote children's learning and to carry out assessments and planning to

meet each child's learning needs. In addition, she does not know how to complete a progress check for children aged between two and three years.  The childminder shares some policies and procedures with parents, but these do not include a complaints policy. This does not ensure that parents are fully informed about the childminding provision.  The childminder provides children with safe play spaces. She understands the importance of organising the appropriate range of resources so that children are able to develop their independence and confidence by helping themselves to these.

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.
