p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has not taken enough action since her last inspection to improve the quality of her provision. A significant number of breaches of requirements have still not been addressed.  The childminder does not have an effective safeguarding policy or procedure. Furthermore, she has not thought about the potential risks posed by the use of mobile phones and cameras or how to minimise these.  The childminder is not aware of the possible signs or symptoms of abuse and does not know what action she should take to protect children who may be at risk from harm.  The childminder has failed to maintain her public liability insurance.  The childminder has little understanding of the learning and development requirements or of how children learn in different ways. She does not know how to plan and provide activities that build on what children already know and can do, in order to help them to make good progress.

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.
