This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not have a sufficient knowledge and understanding of the requirements of the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage'.

For example, her expectations of two-year-old children are not focused on the key areas that underpin all their future learning. n The childminder has not kept important records about accidents and incidents that occurred while children were in her care and was not aware that she needs to do so. This is a breach of requirements. n Children are provided with home-cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner when they attend. However, the childminder is uncertain of how to ensure that

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.
