She is aware of the procedures to follow should she be concerned about a child's welfare.  The childminder knows how to support children's health and well-being. She understands how to encourage their positive behaviour and be an effective role model, such as to help children to learn to respect one another.  The childminder is aware of the importance of building partnerships with parents and others involved in children's care, to provide consistency in children's experiences.  The childminder provides a safe environment, for children of different ages.

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.
