The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder has failed to keep her first-aid certificate up to date. This breach of requirement compromises children's well-being and safety.  The childminder understands the role she plays to promote children's welfare. For example, she knows what appropriate action to take if she has any safeguarding concerns.  The childminder knows how to assess children's progress from the time they start, and undertakes ongoing required assessments. She recognises the importance of sharing information with parents and other settings children may attend.  The childminder understands how to plan and provide suitable learning experiences for children of varied ages, to ensure they make good progress across all areas of their development.  The childminder is aware of the need to build on her professional development. For example, she explores different online forums to extend her knowledge further.  The childminder is aware of how to manage children's behaviour and their health.

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.
