Childminder in Southwark

Inspection date 17 January 2019 Previous inspection date 17 July 2018

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder fails to identify risks to children's health in her premises. This includes not taking prompt and appropriate action to address damp and mould which makes her premises unsuitable for caring for children. Carrying out appropriate risk assessments was an action raised at her previous inspection and this has not been addressed. Consequently, she is not meeting a number of legal requirements, some of which also relate to the requirements of the Childcare Register. n The childminder has unclear knowledge of which agency to report any concerns about a child's welfare to in the first instance, in line with the guidance and procedures of the Local Safeguarding Children Board. This means she can not respond quickly and appropriately to protect children in her care. n The childminder does not understand how to plan a breadth of interesting activities to support all areas of learning, particularly in mathematics and understanding the world.

This provision does not meet requirements

This impacts on her ability to promote children's development across the seven areas of learning to meet their individual needs. This action was raised at her previous inspection and has not been appropriately met. n The childminder's methods for evaluating her provision are not successful in helping her to identify and prioritise aspects of her practice that need improvement to provide good experiences and outcomes for children. n The childminder understands how to plan outdoor activities for children. She understands how to promote their physical development and help them to adopt healthy lifestyles. n The childminder demonstrates an understanding of the importance of working in partnerships with parents. She discusses establishing a two-way relationship with them to share information about supporting children's physical needs and establishing their starting points.

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.
