The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder understands how to use self-evaluation to monitor her practice and identify areas for improvement. However, she failed to identify the need to renew her first aid training and insurance. The childminder does not have effective systems in place to ensure all household members, including students, have suitability checks. These are also breaches of the Childcare Register.  The childminder knows what actions to take if she had any concerns about children's welfare. She attends regular training to keep her knowledge up to date.  The childminder understands the need to provide a safe environment for children. She has a range of resources to support children's learning and development. She understands the importance of planning activities to meet children's different needs and to prepare them for the next stage in their learning.  The childminder understands the importance of working with parents and others who

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.
