The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not understand how to respond appropriately to incidents reported by children, which raise concerns about their safety. This has a significant impact on children's welfare. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not understand the importance of supervising children fully at all times.  The childminder does not inform parents promptly of significant events during their child's time at her setting.  The childminder does not know the maximum number of children she is allowed to care for.  The childminder does not hold a current and valid paediatric first-aid certificate. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register.  Self-evaluation is weak. The childminder is unable to identify breaches of requirements.  The childminder has a suitable understanding of the learning and development requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

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.
