p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not know all the steps to take if an allegation regarding child protection is made against her. Also, she does not record children's hours of attendance. These are breaches of the Childcare Register.  The childminder did not have all the required records for all children for inspection. In addition, the childminder does not ask parents for emergency contact details.  The childminder understands how many children she is able to look after to meet the requirements. She recognises how to risk assess to safely collect children who attend other settings and take them on outings.  The childminder knows how to observe and assess children to help them make progress.  The childminder understands the importance of helping children to experience other learning environments, such as taking them to the park.

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.
