n The childminder has not attended child protection training as the lead practitioner for her setting. She does not have a safeguarding policy in place that is linked to her Local Safeguarding Children Board procedures. She is not fully aware of the action to be taken in the event of an allegation being made against herself or a household member. n The childminder does not maintain accurate records of the children attending each day or the hours that they attend. This compromises children's welfare. n The childminder does not identify and take swift action to minimise risks to children in all areas of the setting. For example, there is a fence panel missing in the garden which means the premises are not fully secure. There are cleaning products within children's reach. This poses a risk to children's safety and well-being. n The childminder does not ensure that there is a first-aid box accessible at all times with

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.
