Full report text

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has a basic understanding of safeguarding and child protection procedures that help to protect children. However, she does not understand how children might be at risk of harm from radicalisation and extremism, nor does she have a written statement for the protection of children to meet statutory requirements. n The childminder does not have a written statement of procedures for complaints to share with parents. This is a breach of the requirements of the Childcare Register. n The childminder must develop her understanding of the learning and development requirements of the early years foundation stage. A lack of professional development limits her ability to plan and provide meaningful learning experiences for children and to measure the progress that they have made. n The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents and adults at other provisions, to achieve better outcomes for children.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not hold a valid or relevant first-aid qualification to keep children safe in an emergency, which is a breach of statutory requirements. n The childminder must develop her understanding of how children's behaviours and attitudes to learning can be shaped in ways to best prepare them for success in later life.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

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.
