p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has failed to improve her knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and welfare requirements. This demonstrates that the childminder has a poor capacity to improve as this has been a weakness raised at previous inspections.  The childminder does not demonstrate a secure knowledge and understanding of appropriate procedures to follow, should she have concerns about a child's welfare. She has failed to improve her knowledge of safeguarding matters. As a result the childminder is not able to demonstrate that she would take action to safeguard children who may be at risk of harm.  The childminder does not risk assess the experiences that are available to children in her home effectively. This has resulted in children previously watching unsuitable adult material which is detrimental to their well-being.  The childminder does not support children's understanding of positive behaviours. This

is because she has allowed young children to watch adult games which contain violence, with a focus on killing others and depicts women in a derogatory way. This may cause children emotional harm.  The childminder demonstrated an awareness of providing suitable meals for children. The home environment is clean and comfortable and the childminder described how she supervises children appropriately.  The childminder provides a variety of resources to help support children's learning. She was able to demonstrate a sufficient understanding of the learning and development requirements.  The childminder was able to describe how she will work with parents and share information about children's progress. She was able to share templates that she intends to use to track children's development and set targets to support their progress.

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.
