p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have sufficient knowledge of the learning and development requirements. She does not understand how to observe and assess children's progress to recognise their achievements and identify their next steps in learning. This has an impact on her ability to provide planned, purposeful play experiences.  The childminder lacks knowledge of how children learn in different ways. This means she does not understand how to plan effectively to meet children's individual needs.  The childminder shows sufficient understanding of safeguarding children. She can describe the signs and symptoms that would make her concerned about a child in her care and knows how to report any concerns that may arise.  The childminder shows an understanding of how to promote children's safety and welfare. The use of risk assessments and daily checks throughout her home and garden help ensure that any potential hazards to children are identified and minimised.

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.
