n Since the last inspection, the childminder has not taken steps to address the previous action relating to child protection training. The childminder has not updated her knowledge and understanding of child protection or wider safeguarding issues.

This compromises children's safety and well-being. n The childminder has limited understanding about how children learn. In some areas of learning, although the childminder knows what she would like children to learn, she does not know how to do this. For example, she wants children to learn how to share and be considerate to others. However, she does not know how to support children to achieve this.

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.
