Childminder EY544022

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has limited knowledge of child protection matters. Her knowledge and understanding of safeguarding legislation and guidance is poor. This includes the 'Prevent' duty guidance for England and Wales 2015. She does not know what to do if an allegation is made against her or a member of her household. n The childminder does not demonstrate that she identifies and minimises risks to children's safety in her home. For example, she has installed an electric fire in the playroom. She does not show that she has considered the risk that the fire presents to children who play there. n The childminder does not know the assessment requirements of the early years foundation stage well enough. For example, she does not know that she must complete a progress check for children aged between two and three years. n The childminder knows the importance of obtaining information from parents before she admits children to her provision.

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.
