Full report text

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has failed to maintain valid public liability insurance, and this is a breach of requirements. She understands the signs and indicators that may mean a child is at risk of harm. However, she has not kept her knowledge of the Local Safeguarding Children Board (Partnership) procedures up to date. This means she may not be able to swiftly report any concerns for children she may have. n The childminder is an experienced teacher. Her knowledge of how children learn and develop gives her a good understanding of how to plan and provide children with experiences to help them develop their skills. n The childminder has a secure understanding of how to observe and assess children and identify their next steps in learning. She is aware of the importance of children developing good communication and physical skills, and their personal independence, and how this prepares them for their future learning.

She is aware of the importance of providing healthy and nutritious meals, and of encouraging children to take part in physical activity and gain regular fresh air. n The childminder is aware of the need to work in partnership with parents and other professionals. She knows how this supports continuity in the care and learning children receive. n The use of risk assessments help the childminder to identify and minimise potential hazards, and enables her to provide a safe environment for children.

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.
