In addition, she does not demonstrate a capacity to improve her provision.  The childminder does not have sufficient understanding and use of English to enable her to ensure the well-being of the children in her care.  The childminder has a very weak understanding of safeguarding. She has not updated her knowledge of child protection or the recent changes to safeguarding guidance. She lacks understanding of how to safeguard children, including identifying the signs and symptoms of the different types of abuse.  The childminder does not have effective policies and procedures in place to safeguard children. She does not know the procedures to follow should concerns arise about a child or if allegations are made against herself or a family member.

This includes carrying out the progress check for children aged between two and three years.  The childminder does not understand how to plan for individual children's needs.

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.
