The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have sufficient understanding and use of English to ensure the well-being of children or to meet the requirements of the early years foundation stage.  The childminder does not have a secure enough understanding of her role and responsibilities in relation to safeguarding children in her care. She does not ensure her knowledge is up to date and she is not able to demonstrate how she would record and report concerns.  The childminder does not know how to observe and assess children's development. She does not identify what children need to learn or implement plans to support their progress effectively. Her knowledge of the different areas of learning, and how children learn and develop, is poor.  The childminder has maintained her paediatric first-aid qualification.

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.
