p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not demonstrate a commitment or understanding of her responsibilities to meet the statutory requirements at all times. Many of the breaches of requirements found at this inspection have been raised at previous inspections. For example, the childminder does not hold a valid paediatric first- aid certificate or public liability insurance. n The childminder does not have sufficient safeguarding knowledge to assure children's safety. The childminder does not know and understand about safeguarding issues, such as female genital mutilation, or the 'Prevent' duty, and the procedures she must follow to help keep children safe. The childminder does not know who to contact if she has concerns about a child's welfare, or if an allegation is raised against her or a member of her household. The childminder persistently fails to meet requirements as she has not updated her knowledge of safeguarding.

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has not refreshed her knowledge of how to support children's learning and development, so that she can plan and record children's learning effectively. She does not demonstrate a clear understanding of how to support children's progress across all areas of learning. She does not understand about the requirement to complete the progress check when children are aged two. n The childminder does not demonstrate a clear understanding of the types of changes or events that must be notified to Ofsted. She has failed to supply information to Ofsted about new persons who are living in her home, so that checks can be completed regarding their suitability to be in contact with children. This is a breach of requirements and means that children's safety cannot be assured. n The childminder understands positive strategies to promote children's behaviour, such as giving praise and encouragement for their efforts and achievements.

This provision does not meet requirements

12 July 2022 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.
