p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not meet requirements she has failed to ensure Ofsted are notified of assistants that work with her by completing the necessary documentation. This was a breach at the previous inspection. The provider will be issued with a separate initial warning letter for this failure.  The childminder does not work in partnership with parents. She has misled parents by informing them that her husband is registered with Ofsted as her childminding assistant. Following the inspection she completed all of the necessary paperwork to register her husband as an assistant.  The childminder has failed to maintain an accurate record of attendance for all children. This was a breach at her previous inspection. This demonstrates a poor capacity to initiate improvement.  The childminder has failed to ensure that records are maintained for all children to ensure that their individual needs, safety and welfare are prioritised.

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has failed to demonstrate how she shares information with parents about how they can raise complaints about the quality of the provision.  The childminder demonstrated an awareness of providing suitable snacks and drinks. She understands the need to provide a clean and safe home environment. Children have adequate space, although resources to support play are minimal.  The childminder requested to be removed from the early years register during the inspection. Therefore, learning and development requirements were not explored as part of the inspection. The childminder retracted this request following the inspection. Therefore, Ofsted will be taking further action which will involve additional visits to the childminder's home.  The childminder has improved her knowledge and understanding of safeguarding procedures since her last inspection.

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.
