Childminder in Havering

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has not ensured that her wider safeguarding knowledge is up to date, including her understanding of the 'Prevent' duty. She does not fully understand all issues relating to safeguarding to ensure that she is alert to possible concerns in a child's life. n The childminder has limited understanding of the early years foundation stage in relation to learning and development, planning and assessment. She does not consistently focus observations and assessments sharply enough to plan precisely for children's next steps in learning. n Self-evaluation is not sufficiently developed to clearly identify areas for development, including professional development, in order to improve the overall provision and learning opportunities for children. n The childminder offers a warm and welcoming environment where children have access to a wide range of resources that are easily accessible for all children.
