Previous inspection: Requires improvement

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has taken insufficient action to address weaknesses in his practice and improve. He has not removed hazards identified at the last inspection, such as rubble and debris in the garden. n The childminder does not demonstrate a secure understanding of how to keep children safe in an emergency. The path at the side of the property used as an escape route in the event of a fire is littered with tyres, car parts, unused doors and other debris, making this inaccessible. n The childminder has not considered an effective programme of professional development to improve his skills and knowledge of how to raise outcomes for children. n The childminder has a poor understanding of the seven areas of learning. He cannot explain how he would observe and assess children's development. The childminder does not understand how to tailor planning to support children's individual learning needs and styles.

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

He knows what to do in the event of a concern about a child in his care.

p.1

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.
