She does not hold a current first-aid certificate or have public liability insurance in place. These are breaches of the Childcare Register. n The childminder has not kept her safeguarding and wider safeguarding knowledge up to date. For example, she is unsure of the steps to take if an allegation is made against her or a household member, and the local procedures to follow to report her concerns about a child's welfare. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register. n The childminder does not have sufficient knowledge of the early years foundation stage to promote the learning and development of all children. n The childminder understands how to support children's behaviour.

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.
