Previous inspection date 1 June 2016 Not applicable

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not maintain safe premises. During the inspection, the setting was unsafe and areas for food preparation were not clean. The contents of the first-aid box were not all suitable for use with children.  The childminder is unaware that she is breaching requirements, including those relating to the Childcare Register.  The childminder fails to ensure all documents required for the effective management of her provision are accurate and available for inspection. For example, she does not keep records of accidents and was unable to locate her public liability insurance, her car insurance and evidence that her car is roadworthy.  The childminder does not have an adequate understanding of how to assess and monitor children's progress and plan suitably challenging activities to promote learning.  The childminder understands her responsibility to supervise children well, keep them safe on outings, and protect them from people whose suitability has not been checked.

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.
