p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The provider has failed to inform Ofsted of a significant event. This is a breach of requirements. She does not demonstrate enough understanding of the requirements of the early years foundation stage and her responsibilities in meeting these. She has not addressed all the actions from the last inspection. This compromises children's learning. n The provider lacks understanding of the purpose of the progress check for children between the ages of two and three years. She does not provide an accurate summary of children's progress at this age. She does not share enough information with parents about their child's development. n Assessments of children's learning are not accurate. The provider does not observe children regularly enough to find out the stage of a child's development. This means she does not possess all the information needed so that she can plan to close any gaps in children's learning.

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.
