n The childminder does not have a certificate of registration on the Early Years Register so does not meet requirements for this register. n The childminder does not have a written complaints or child protection policy so does not meet the requirements for the Childcare Register. n The childminder understands how to assess her curriculum and what she would do if a child was not making typical progress. n Parents report an open and trusting relationship with the childminder. n The childminder understands the need to give children time to listen and respond as they learn to communicate. n The childminder understands how to keep children safe and she can describe the procedures to follow if she suspects that a child may be at risk of harm.

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.
