This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has completed safeguarding training. However, she does not have a secure understanding of child protection procedures. The childminder recognises potential risks that may impact on a child's welfare, including possible exposure to extreme views.

She does not attend the training required to help her understand how to respond in a medical emergency. This does not help to ensure children's welfare. n The childminder describes the inclusive activities that she plans to provide. She explains how she would use children's interests to help keep them engaged as they play and learn. The childminder plans to use resources in her community, such as regular visits to local groups, to build on what children know and enjoy.

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.
