p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not have an effective safeguarding policy to inform her practice if an allegation is made. Her understanding of statutory child protection roles and responsibilities is weak. She does not monitor her service effectively enough to recognise when children's welfare is compromised. n The childminder has failed to maintain an appropriate first-aid qualification. This hinders her from taking the correct action in a medical emergency. n The childminder recognises the importance of working in partnership with others. She plans to gather initial and ongoing information about children from parents and others who may be involved, to provide activities based on children's needs and interests. n The childminder explains how she intends to use her observations of children to identify what they need to learn next. She plans to share information about children's progress with parents and support them to help children's learning at home.

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder demonstrates an understanding of how to work with parents to help close gaps in children's learning and meet their individual needs. n The childminder plans to use resources within the local community to extend children's learning experiences. She describes how she will reinforce children's understanding of how to keep themselves safe and provide opportunities to exercise and play in fresh air. n The childminder maintains links with other practitioners and seeks the views of parents and children to help develop her service.

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.
