The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have a valid paediatric first-aid qualification or public liability insurance as required. These are also breaches of the Childcare Register requirements.  The childminder understands how to safeguard children. She recognises the signs and symptoms that may cause concern and knows who to contact to make a referral.  The childminder understands how to promote positive behaviour. She explains she helps children to develop positive relationships with others, be confident and independent.  The childminder knows how to plan activities based around children's interests. She is also aware of the importance of completing observations of children's play and monitoring their learning to help them make progress.  The childminder recognises the importance of working with parents and sharing information regularly to support continuity in children's progress and well-being.

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.
