The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has not ensured that suitability checks are completed for all people over the age of 16 living on the premises, to protect children's safety. She has failed to notify Ofsted of significant changes to her circumstances. These are also breaches of the Childcare Register requirements.  Since the last inspection, the childminder has improved her knowledge of how to plan appropriate activities, and organise the environments to meet children's needs. She understands how to use the information from her observations and assessments to monitor children's progress.  The childminder has a wide range of toys and resources available, to help children make progress. She understands the importance of teaching children about healthy lifestyles, including exercise.  The childminder knows the importance of positive relationships with parents and other professionals to establish a consistent approach.

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.
