p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not have current public liability insurance. n The childminder has limited knowledge of safeguarding procedures. She lacks an understanding of the correct procedures to follow should concerns arise. Therefore, she cannot promote children's welfare. n The childminder does not have a complete and up-to-date written statement of procedures to be followed for the protection of children. n The childminder has failed to renew and maintain a current paediatric first-aid certificate. She does not have up-to-date knowledge of how she would deal with accidents, injuries or the serious illness of a child. This poses a potential risk to children's safety and well-being. n The childminder's understanding of the learning and development requirements is weak. She is not secure in her knowledge of the seven areas of learning. This impacts on her ability to promote children's development and meet their individual needs.

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has insufficient knowledge of observation, assessment and the requirement to complete progress checks for children aged between two and three years. She cannot explain how children are supported if their progress is less than expected. n The childminder has not addressed actions set at previous inspections. She does not have a secure understanding of the requirements of the early years foundation stage. Therefore, the capacity for improvement is weak.

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.
