The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have a current paediatric first-aid certificate or hold public liability insurance, as required. These are also breaches to the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder knows how children learn through play. She understands how to monitor the progress they make and how to plan a range of activities to support their learning and development. The childminder knows how to prepare children for their move to nursery or school.  The childminder recognises the importance of working with parents to offer continuity in children's care and learning. She understands the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles.  The childminder knows how to evaluate the quality of her provision, to identify areas for development and how to access training and support to develop her practice.  The childminder is aware of child protection and safeguarding issues. She has relevant policies and procedures to guide her work and keep children safe.

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.
