The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder recognises the signs that may indicate a child being at risk of harm. However, she is not familiar with all safeguarding procedures. For example, she does not hold relevant contact details in order to report any welfare concerns. This breach also relates to the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder has allowed her paediatric first-aid qualification to lapse and she does not hold valid public liability insurance. These breaches relate to the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not keep her knowledge up to date, which prevents her from understanding all aspects of her role and responsibilities.

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.
