Childminder in Peterborough

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has failed to provide Ofsted with information about other persons living on the premises where childminding is being provided. This means that suitability checks have not been completed for all persons who may come into contact with children. This compromises children's safety. n The childminder does not provide children with a healthy, balanced and nutritious range of foods for snacks and meals. She is unaware how some foods may affect children's good oral health. For example, she regularly provides children with crisps, biscuits and raisins. In addition, the childminder provides confectionery items as a reward for good behaviour. n The childminder has made changes to her premises to ensure they are safe and fit for purpose. She ensures that identified fire exits are free of obstruction. She shares how she will risk assess her home and when she takes children on outings, to promote children's safety and welfare effectively.

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.
