p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not have enough knowledge and understanding of the early years foundation stage. As a result, she has not identified weaknesses in practice and taken action to ensure that all requirements of the Early Years and Childcare Registers are met. n The childminder's safeguarding policy does not include the action to be taken in the event of an allegation against someone working on the premises. Neither does it include the use of mobile phones and cameras, as required. n The childminder does not have enough up-to-date knowledge and understanding of safeguarding, particularly in relation to 'Prevent' duty and female genital mutilation (FGM). She does not know the procedures to follow if there is an allegation against someone working on the premises. n The childminder does not keep an accurate record of children's daily hours of attendance, as required. This puts children at potential risk of harm.

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.
