As a result, suitability checks have not been carried out to ensure children are adequately safeguarded. n The childminder does not implement effective procedures to keep children safe in the case of a fire or any other emergency, this is because she uses the lift when carrying out fire drills. n The first-aid box does not contain suitable contents to aid the childminder to treat children in the event of an emergency. However, she has maintained her paediatric first-aid certificate and holds public liability insurance. The childminder describes how she encourages children to be active and benefit from a healthy lifestyle. n The childminder lacks knowledge of the procedures to follow if she has a written complaint.

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.
