The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have a secure understanding of safeguarding. She does not understand how to protect children's welfare fully.  The childminder does not obtain written permission from parents and caregivers to administer medicine to children. She does not keep records of when she gives medicine to children or share this with parents. The childminder does not keep a daily record of children's attendance. Overall, this compromises children's health and safety.  The childminder does not have an understanding of the required progress check for two-year-old children. Therefore, she is not able to effectively identify and support children's development in partnership with parents and other professionals.  The childminder does not keep a written statement for safeguarding children or complaints.

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.
