The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not meet all of the legal requirements of the early years foundation stage. She does not have an up-to-date paediatric first-aid certificate and she does not hold valid public liability insurance. This has a negative impact on the safeguarding and welfare of children.  The childminder has an understanding of child protection procedures, and demonstrates an understanding of how to work with relevant agencies should she be concerned about a child's welfare.  The childminder has an understanding of learning and development requirements, such as using observations and assessments to plan for all children's future learning.  The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents. This includes seeking regular feedback from parents to inform her about the level of service she offers.  The childminder understands how to promote children's well-being and good behaviour.

The provision does not meet requirements

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.
