p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not understand her responsibilities to safeguard children's welfare and fails to meet the Early Years Register and the Childcare Register requirements. She has failed to notify Ofsted of changes to household members and has not supplied information for them to carry out suitability checks on all adults living at the premises.  The childminder has a weak understanding of the correct reporting procedures to follow if she has a safeguarding concern, in line with the Local Safeguarding Children Board guidelines. She is unaware of signs that may indicate children are at risk of extreme views, so she can take prompt action to protect them from harm.  The childminder does not ensure fire safety equipment is in working order to ensure children's safety at all times.  The childminder fails to complete an accurate record of children's attendance.  The childminder understands how to assess children as they play. She is aware that she

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.
