Childminder EY544761

This provision does not meet requirements

n There are significant weaknesses in the childminder's understanding of how to keep children safe in her care. For example, she does not understand the correct steps to take should she have any concerns about children's welfare. The childminder's public liability insurance is not in place. She has not renewed it to ensure she is compliant with requirements. This is a breach of the Childcare Register. n Although the childminder recognises the importance of developing partnerships with parents, she is not fully aware of the significance of gathering vital information about children's individual needs, such as their medical and dietary information, from their parents before children start with her. n The childminder's knowledge and understanding of how children learn and develop in the early years are equally weak. This includes her understanding of how to use assessment to monitor children's progress and plan for their

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.
