p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has failed to provide Ofsted with the required information to enable checks to be undertaken on every person living on the premises, aged 16 years and over. This means that children's safety cannot be guaranteed.  The childminder could not provide the current first-aid certificate for her assistant, or the insurance certificate for the vehicle used to transport minded children. Consequently, children's safety and well-being is not assured.  The childminder could not provide a register of the dates and times children are cared for.  The childminder does not have a robust and up-to-date understanding of the learning and development requirements. This has an impact on her ability to promote children's learning in all areas of development in readiness for school.  Arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

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.
