p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The inspection was carried out following the risk assessment process. The childminder was found to be in breach of a number of safeguarding and welfare requirements which also link to the requirements of the Childcare Register. n The childminder has failed to inform Ofsted about a new assistant working directly with children and a new adult living on the premises. Consequently, required suitability checks, including Disclosure and Barring Service checks have not been completed. This means that children's safety cannot be assured. n The childminder has allowed her premises to be used to care for children by her assistant in her absence for longer than two hours in a day. In addition, the childminder has not ensured her assistant holds a paediatric first-aid certificate as required. This means children's safety and well-being are compromised and put at risk. n The childminder has failed to ensure her assistant has sufficient understanding and use

of English to guarantee the safety and learning needs of children. n The childminder has not put appropriate arrangements in place for the supervision of her assistant to provide suitable support and training, including how to safeguard children. n Overall, the childminder demonstrates a good knowledge of how children learn and the importance of working in partnership with parents. However, the breaches of requirements mean that her good knowledge is not always implemented in practice. n The childminder has given notice of the cancellation of her registration and therefore enforcement action cannot be implemented.

This 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.
