The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder’s knowledge and understanding of safeguarding matters is poor. She does not know enough about the different types of abuse and the possible signs and symptoms to ensure she safeguards children’s welfare. This is also a breach of the requirements of the Childcare Register.  Arrangements for risk assessment and fire safety have not been given enough attention. For example, the childminder has failed to identify and reduce the risk posed by large windows which open out very wide. This is also a breach of the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder has failed to keep an accurate attendance record of all children for whom she cares. This is also a breach of the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not have an adequate knowledge and understanding of the learning and development requirements to meet children’s needs. She is not sufficiently familiar with the areas of learning, and has no process in place to assess, track and

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.
