Inspection date

Previous inspection date 4 July 2018 12 February 2015

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

 The childminder demonstrates, through discussion, that she does not have a good enough knowledge of when to report concerns about children's welfare to relevant agencies. In addition to this, her safeguarding policy is not up to date with all required information about child protection.  The childminder has a suitable understanding of the learning and development requirements, including how to complete a summative assessment for children between the ages of two and three years.  The childminder's home is safe and clean. She understands how to keep risks to a minimum in her home and when she takes children on outings to help keep them safe. For example, she ensures children wear sun cream and stay in the shade during hot weather and teaches them about road safety.  The childminder explains how she teaches children rules and boundaries and how she works with parents to help improve children's understanding of appropriate behaviour.

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.
