A full and comprehensive set of records pertaining to children's hours of attendance, requested by the inspector, were not available during the inspection. This is a breach in legal requirements. The childminder attends safeguarding training and is aware of safeguarding issues, such as female genital mutilation. n Self-evaluation is not effective.

There were no children in the early years age range 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 early years 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.
