p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder lacks knowledge of how to respond to concerns about children's welfare and the safeguarding procedures to follow to protect them from harm. In addition, she does not always take appropriate action to remove or minimise risks to young children to keep them safe. These are also breaches of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not ensure the required ratio is maintained. For example, at times, she leaves minded children in the sole care of her assistant, who is responsible for other young children. This sometimes leaves the childminder's assistant with more than three young children in her sole care, which is a breach of requirements.  The childminder does not keep records of children's attendance or record all accidents and injuries to children, as required. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register.  The childminder is not aware of her responsibility to provide mentoring and coaching to

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.
