This provision does not meet requirements

She knows how to teach children about behaviour expectations to help them learn how to share and play together. n The childminder knows the procedures to follow if she has any concerns about children's welfare. She understands how to assess and minimise risks in her home and on outings to help keep children safe.

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.
