p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have a good enough understanding of how to provide children with an educational programme that helps them make good progress in all aspects of their learning and development. She is not familiar enough with what children need to learn, in order to ensure they are ready for school when the time comes.  The childminder does not have any action plans in place to help her improve the quality of the provision. She has not thought sufficiently about how she will improve her knowledge and skills or keep up to date with changes in legislation or practice.  The childminder demonstrates a suitable understanding of the safeguarding and welfare requirements and of current child protection issues. She has secure policies and procedures in place to underpin her practice. The childminder has considered how she will teach children to keep themselves safe.  The childminder has taken some steps to address the actions set at her last inspection.

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

She has improved her understanding of the importance of involving parents in the assessment of their children's progress. She plans to encourage them to share information about what their children know and can do.  The childminder has appropriate plans in place to share information with other settings children attend. She is aware of the importance of doing this, in order to be able to complement the care and learning that takes place elsewhere.  The childminder understands why she should monitor children's progress. She has thought about how she will gather information about children's individual needs, their interests and stage of development. She is knowledgeable about where to seek support for children who are making slower progress than expected.  The childminder has a secure understanding of how to promote positive behaviour and she demonstrates that she knows how to manage unwanted behaviour appropriately.

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.
