Summary of outcome

We found that the provider had improved their procedures relating to risk assessments, meaning the premises was secure. Food provided to children was much improved, now containing a healthy selection of fruit and vegetables. Hygiene practices observed were improved, meaning that there was no risk from cross-contamination. The childminder also explained they now share more detailed information with parents about children's progress. Additionally, they are informing parents of children's interests in certain subjects. This means that parents can follow up this interest at home, thereby extending children's learning.
