Inspection date

Previous inspection date 9 November 2016 Not applicable

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not fully understand how to recognise and refer safeguarding concerns. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register. In addition, the childminder does not know the procedures to follow regarding any allegations and does not consider children's safety in relation to the safe use of electronic devices with cameras.  The childminder is unaware of recent changes to safeguarding matters, such as the indicators that children are at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas about right and wrong. This compromises children's safety.  The childminder does not understand the need to plan challenging and interesting play activities that are age-appropriate, and is unclear of how to assess children's stage of learning, including the progress check for two-year-olds.  The childminder has not undertaken any professional development to keep her knowledge up-to-date about childcare practices, new legislation, and guidance.

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder understands how to manage and support children's behaviour to help them learn to share, take turns and be respectful of each other.

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.
