The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have a copy of her registration certificate to display in her home or show to parents and/or carers of minded children on request.  The childminder does not have a current paediatric first-aid certificate. She does not have up-to-date knowledge of how she would deal with accidents.  The childminder has a limited understanding of the learning and development requirements. She is not secure in her knowledge of how to plan challenging activities that help children to make progress in their learning.  The childminder has poor knowledge of assessment procedures to accurately assess children's progress. She has insufficient knowledge of the requirements of the progress check for children aged between two and three years.  The childminder has not kept up to date with recent safeguarding guidance, such as that relating to the 'Prevent' duty.

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.
