The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder knows what to do if she has a concern about the welfare of a child. However, she has not maintained a current paediatric first-aid qualification. This is also a breach of the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder is unable to demonstrate that she has public liability insurance in place. This is also a breach of the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder understands how to observe and plan for children's progress. However, she is unaware of the progress check for children between the ages of two and three years. She is unable to demonstrate how she would carry this out if required.  The childminder knows how to support children's health and well-being. She recognises the need for children to enjoy fresh air and exercise, and to offer healthy food.  The childminder understands the importance of establishing partnerships with parents and other providers, to contribute to meeting children's individual needs.

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.
