This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not ensure that all safeguarding and welfare requirements are met. She does not have an up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding issues. For example, she does not have a clear understanding of the signs which could indicate a child is at risk of female genital mutilation. She does not fully understand the procedures she needs to follow, should she have concerns about a child's welfare. As a result, she cannot fully keep children safe if they are at risk of harm. n The childminder is not compliant with all legal requirements. She has not maintained a current paediatric first-aid certificate. Furthermore, she has not renewed her training for a significant period of time. n The childminder does not demonstrate a clear understanding of how to implement appropriate strategies to manage children's behaviour. This has a negative effect on the children's well-being and emotional security. n The childminder does not evaluate the quality of her provision well enough to

identify areas for development. She has not kept her own knowledge and understanding up to date, in order to fully meet the requirements of the early years foundation stage (EYFS). n The childminder demonstrates an understanding of the learning and development requirements of the EYFS. She explains how she will use regular assessment and observation to support children to make progress across all areas of learning. n The childminder recognises the importance of working in partnership with parents. For example, she shares daily updates with parents. She understands the value of sharing information with other settings children attend, to ensure a consistent approach to children's care and learning. n The childminder completes risk assessments to ensure that the environment, resources and equipment are safe and suitable for children to use.

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.
