p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder does not have sufficient knowledge to identify and respond to instances of extreme views and beliefs, and lacks understanding of the reporting procedures to follow to protect children from harm.  The childminder does not complete a progress check for children between the ages of two and three years or share a summary of their progress with parents to identify and close any gaps in children's learning promptly.  The childminder does not have sufficient knowledge of the early years foundation stage to promote the learning and development of all children. She does not identify all children's starting points or effectively use the information gained from assessments to understand their level of achievement and plan for the next stages in their learning.  The childminder does not give children a clear message about eating healthily to help them better understand the importance of a healthy diet.

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.
