Childminder in Bexley

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not understand the correct procedure to follow if an allegation is made against her. Despite this weakness in her safeguarding knowledge, she is sufficiently alert to possible signs that may indicate that a child is at risk of harm. She also understands her responsibilities under the 'Prevent' duty. n The childminder does not record and maintain personal details of the children she looks after as required. This is also a breach of the Childcare register. Moreover, she is not fully clear about significant changes and events that Ofsted needs to be informed of. n The childminder lacks a clear understanding of the early years foundation stage areas of learning and how she can provide an ambitious curriculum to help children make good progress. In addition, she does not understand how to use observation and assessment to monitor children's achievements and identify gaps in their learning.

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder is aware of the need to risk assess her play areas and supervise children well to help keep them safe. She understands how to manage children's behaviour positively, such as through effective explanations and distractions. n The childminder recognises the importance of encouraging children to exercise daily and eat healthily to support their physical well-being.

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.
