This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has made some improvements since her last inspection, particularly associated with teaching and assessment procedures. She completes basic self- evaluation systems. n Arrangements for safeguarding are weak. The childminder does not effectively implement safeguarding procedures in line with Local Safeguarding Children Board guidelines to help to protect children from potential harm. She has failed to make a record of significant injuries that occur to children when they are not in her care. n Risk assessment procedures are not sufficiently rigorous to identify and remove all potential hazards to children, with particular regard to accessible alcohol, sharp kitchen knives and medication spray in the bathroom. Weaknesses in risk assessment procedures compromise children's safety. n The childminder has systems in place to observe and monitor children's progress. She has a good knowledge of the areas of learning and intends to present children with a

variety of activities to promote all-round learning. n The childminder provides children with a range of toys and play resources to stimulate learning and retain their engagement and curiosity. n The childminder offers an inclusive setting and all children and families are welcome.

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.
