p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have a suitable understanding of safeguarding issues, including if she has concerns about a child, allegations, and the 'Prevent' duty guidance.  The childminder lacks knowledge of the learning and development requirements and is unaware of the required progress check for two-year-old children.  The childminder does not ensure that children's health is promoted as she does not understand her responsibility to provide outdoor activities on a daily basis and most contents of her first-aid box are not suitable as they are several years out of date.  The childminder has failed to ensure that all required records and policies are in place and lacks knowledge of how to proceed in the event of a written parental complaint.  The childminder does not use self-evaluation effectively to ensure she meets the requirements of the early years foundation stage and the Childcare Register. Although

she was not swift in addressing her previous action, she now holds a valid paediatric first-aid certificate to meet requirements.  The childminder understands the importance of managing children's behaviour.

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.
