Childminder EY537944

Inspection date 21 May 2019 Previous inspection date 28 November 2018

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The childminder does not have a policy or procedure in place and has limited understanding of how to identify, understand and respond appropriately to signs of possible abuse and neglect. n The childminder has failed to take all reasonable steps to ensure that children are not exposed to risks. She is not able to demonstrate how she identifies all aspects of the environment that need to be checked on a regular basis or how she manages risks effectively. This compromises children's well-being and questions the childminder's ability to keep children safe in her care. n The childminder has not identified weaknesses in practice and has not engaged in professional development activities. This was raised as an action at the last inspection and demonstrates an insufficient understanding of the responsibility to meet requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has not done enough to improve her knowledge and understanding of the learning and development requirements. She is not able to demonstrate how she plans and provides stimulating and challenging activities to engage and motivate children. Resources and opportunities for children appear limited. Children are not supported to make good progress. n The childminder exchanges information with parents. She understands written permission must be gained from parents prior to administering medication, for each and every occasion and to keep a record of medicine administered. n The childminder demonstrates a better understanding of the changes that must be notified to Ofsted. n The childminder has recognised some developmental progress and follows children's interests to some extent. She explains how she is providing more opportunities for children to play outside and access sensory resources such as sand and water.

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.

p.1

p.2

p.2
