Childminder in Havering

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder is not aware of the 'Prevent' duty and her responsibility to report concerns. 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 Insufficient understanding and knowledge of the learning and development requirements demonstrates the childminder is unable to implement these to support children's learning. n The childminder does not identify and minimise all risks and hazards on the premises to ensure children can play safely. For example, kitchen cupboards have no locks, so domestic chemicals such as bleach are easily accessible. n The childminder's knowledge and understanding of how to complete the progress check for children aged between two and three years is limited. Therefore, she is unable to assess if early intervention is required. n Self-evaluation is not sufficiently developed to clearly identify areas for

She gathers information from parents from the outset to find out what children already know and can do. n The childminder knows how to support children to develop an understanding of expected behaviour, including respect for diversity. n The childminder understands her role to maintain children's good health and the importance of providing children with a healthy diet and regular opportunities to be active.

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.
