Childminder EY342472

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has failed to meet the previous enforcement action issued by Ofsted, as she is not keeping her premises secure. n There are hazards on the premises, both indoors and outdoors. The childminder is failing to carry out appropriate risk assessments to remove or minimise these hazards. This poses a risk to children's safety. n Children are unable to access resources independently, as these are stored in the outdoor playroom, which is currently out of use. Furthermore, some of these resources are unclean and are not in a suitable state for play. This means that children are not able to choose from appropriate activities during their time at the childminder's. n The childminder is not maintaining records to ensure the safe and efficient management of the setting. She has not recorded important information about some of the children in her care, such as, their date of birth and their parent's

home address. Additionally, she is failing to keep up-to-date registers of children's attendance. n The childminder does not have a secure understanding of safeguarding children. For example, she does not know who to contact if she had concerns that a child may be at risk or harm. She does not know who to contact if she received a child protection allegation about a member of her household. In addition, she does not have sufficient knowledge of wider safeguarding issues, such as female genital mutilation. n The childminder has not maintained her public liability insurance. n The childminder is able to describe the strategies she would use to effectively manage children's behaviour. For example, if they were struggling to share a toy or to take turns. n The childminder understands how to assess children's progress in their learning. She explains that she would initially gather information from parents about

children's interests and achievements. She discusses how she would undertake observations of children at play and use this information to plan their next developmental steps.

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.
