Childminder in Hampshire

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder is unable to demonstrate that she has a sufficient awareness of the safeguarding and welfare requirements. This is because she cannot explain who is suitable to have unsupervised access to the children in her care. n The childminder does not understand the need to keep a record of children's attendance, so that she can monitor any patterns of absence. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register requirements. n Although it is a requirement, the childminder does not display her certificate of registration. This is so parents know her registration details if they contact Ofsted about the quality of her childcare service. n The childminder does not know how to accurately assess children's progress. This does not enable her to identify any child making slower progress in their learning so that she can provide support. n The childminder cannot demonstrate how she would plan a challenging range of

She knows how to encourage children to be polite and kind towards friends. n The childminder understands the importance of sharing information with parents. She knows that they can work together to support children in their development.

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.
