 The childminder has not made sufficient improvement since her last inspection and significant weaknesses remain in her knowledge.  The childminder has failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event and has still failed to complete a first-aid course, as required.  The childminder does not understand her responsibility to keep children safe. She lacks knowledge of the procedures to follow if she had any child protection concerns.

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.
