The provision meets requirements

 The childminder obtains information from parents and other adults who work with children. This enables her to support children's individual care and learning needs throughout their time at her setting.  The childminder has knowledge of child protection procedures and understands her responsibility to protect the welfare of children in her care.  The childminder has systems in place to promote children's safety and welfare. For example, she ensures that risk assessments of the premises are carried out and the building is kept secure.  The childminder recognises how to promote children's well-being. She shows an awareness of how to help children make choices, be independent and develop positive connections with others. She understands how to manage children's behaviour positively.  The childminder knows how to provide children with interesting activities to build on and complement the learning they acquire at other settings they may also attend.

The provision meets requirements

 The childminder has a portfolio in place to provide information to new families. Previous parents have sent letters of appreciation to the childminder telling her how happy they are with the service she provides.  The childminder has met and implemented the recommendations set at the last inspection. This has resulted in improved systems for engaging parents in sharing their children's learning at home and increased partnership working with staff at other settings that children also attend. This demonstrates her capacity to improve and to further develop her setting.

The provision meets 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.
