The provision does not meet requirements

 The inspection was prioritised following concerns being raised that the childminder may be caring for a large number of children in the early years age group. The inspection found that the childminder does not have a secure understanding of how many early years children she can care for. Consequently, she routinely exceeds the limits. This compromises children's safety.  The childminder does not keep accurate written records each time a medicine is administered to a child or obtain written permission from parents to administer medication.  The childminder uses effective risk assessments to minimise potential hazards in her home. She holds a current paediatric first-aid qualification.  The childminder demonstrates that she makes regular observations and assessments of children's learning. She plans next steps for their development and monitors their progress. Children make good progress from their starting points.

She has been unable to highlight weakness in practice or address them in

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.
