The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have a secure knowledge of the learning and development requirements. She is unsure of what the seven areas of learning are or how she should use these to shape educational programmes. Additionally, she lacks knowledge of assessment processes, including the required progress check at age two.  The childminder has up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding issues that may affect a child's life at home or elsewhere. She knows what to do should she have concerns about a child or should an allegation be made against herself.  The childminder understands the benefits of working with other professionals to promote continuity and consistency in children's care.  The childminder describes effective ways of how she helps children settle and how she supports their emotional well-being.  The childminder discusses how she evaluates her practice through seeking the views of parents and professionals to help improve her provision.

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.
