p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not have the evidence to show she holds public liability insurance. n The childminder does not ensure that all records are easily accessible so that they are available for inspection. n The childminder does not have a sufficiently secure knowledge of the seven areas of learning, and the prime and specific areas of learning. Therefore, she does not have the understanding to precisely identify children's individual level of ability, in order to recognise, monitor and support their varying progress. n The childminder does not use precise and targeted self-evaluation to help her identify areas for development and address weaker areas promptly. n The childminder holds a current paediatric first-aid certificate. She understands to record children's attendance, accidents and any medication given. She discusses the importance of providing healthy snacks and promoting good hygiene routines.

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder is clear on the procedures for safeguarding children. She has a child protection policy in place and has renewed her safeguarding training to update her knowledge. The childminder is fully aware of the action to take should she have any concerns about children's welfare. This helps to keep children safe in her care. n The childminder has a wide range of toys and resources available for children to use. Children can choose what they would like to play with, gaining a range of experiences and promoting their independence. n The childminder understands how to manage children's behaviour in a positive way. She describes strategies to build on their confidence and form secure attachments.

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.
