Full report text

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not have a good enough understanding of the procedure to follow in the event of an allegation being made against a member of staff. Furthermore, the childminder has not kept her paediatric first aid up to date. This means children are not kept safe from all risks. Other aspects of safeguarding knowledge and practice are more positive. The childminder is familiar with the potential indicators of abuse. She is aware of the procedures to follow and who to contact should she have a concern about a child in her care. Her home is safe and secure for children. n The childminder has a good understanding of the learning and development requirements. She describes how she will deliver a broad curriculum to support children to be ready for their move to school. Through discussion, she explains how children learn and describes how she would observe, assess, and plan for children's next step in learning.

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.
