p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder does not have a suitable knowledge of the early years foundation stage child protection requirements. She is not aware of the risk of female genital mutilation to a child, or any signs a child has been subjected to this. This is a breach of requirements and does not ensure children are safeguarded. n The childminder demonstrated, through discussion, how she will plan, deliver and assess children's learning to help them make good progress. She discussed how she will share information regularly with parents to ensure they are kept up to date regarding their child's progress and next steps for their learning. n The childminder understands how to encourage children's communication and language skills. She explained, for example how she would read books with children of all ages to introduce new words to build their vocabulary and ask older children questions to assess their understanding.

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.
