The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not meet all requirements for the Early Years Register and the Childcare Register. She demonstrates poor knowledge of child protection issues and cannot identify if a child is at risk from harm. She does not know the signs and symptoms of concern, or how to report any concerns to the relevant statutory bodies.  The childminder has not maintained a valid paediatric first-aid qualification to ensure she has up-to-date knowledge on how to respond appropriately in an emergency or to treat children's injuries.  The childminder knows how to plan for children's learning and how to use observations and assessments to monitor their progress and support their overall development. She understands how to help parents to support their children's learning at home.  The childminder knows how to manage children's behaviour positively. She explained the methods that she would use to support them to be kind, respectful and share.

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.
