p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has failed to maintain a current paediatric first-aid certificate. Consequently, the childminder cannot demonstrate her understanding of how to continually promote children's welfare in the event of an accident.  The childminder does not have all records available for inspection; she is unable to provide evidence of public liability insurance.  The childminder has little understanding of the learning and development requirements and the seven areas of learning. She lacks knowledge of the assessment arrangements to help children progress in their development.  The childminder has toys and resources available to meet the needs and interests of children.  The childminder identifies potential hazards in her home and garden and takes action to minimise them. She risk assesses trips in the local community to keep children safe from harm.

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.
