The provision meets requirements

 Since the last inspection, the provider has continued to maintain required qualifications and skills by attending training and linking with another childminder. This has helped her to maintain her knowledge of how to implement the requirements relating to safeguarding and for promoting children's learning and development.  The childminder demonstrates a suitable understanding of the educational programmes and how to promote the learning and development of young children. She describes how she observes what children can do, tracks this against developmental guidance and uses the information to plan how to provide support to help every individual child progress further.  The childminder understands how to promote children's well-being. She describes secure admission arrangements. These have been carefully thought through to give time for children to build relationships and time for parents to share information about

children's individual care needs and their learning so far.  The childminder demonstrates her secure arrangements to ensure continued communication with parents regarding individual children's care and learning. This includes routine progress summaries and the required progress check for children aged between two and three years.  The childminder understands how to help children develop the skills they need to be ready for school. She describes how she uses everyday routines along with external activities, such as toddler groups, to provide activities and social experiences which motivate children's engagement and increase their confidence and independence.  The childminder appropriately demonstrates how she safeguards children's welfare. She has clear written guidance and understands how to monitor and refer any child protection concerns.  The childminder provides a suitably safe place for children to play and learn. Her home

is clean and well maintained. Risk assessments of the house and garden are carried out and she implements measures to minimise potential hazards when children are present. She has maintained public liability insurance.  The childminder has suitable plans for further relevant training and links with the local adviser and other professionals to obtain advice and guidance when returning to childminding practice. This demonstrates her capacity to improve. 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.
