Childminder in Leicester

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder's understanding of safeguarding is weak. She does not have a sufficient understanding of the 'Prevent' duty guidance. This means that she does not know how to identify if children are being exposed to radicalisation or extreme views and beliefs. Despite this, the childminder knows who to contact should she have concerns about the safety and welfare of a child. n The childminder has not kept her knowledge of the early years foundation stage learning and development requirements up to date. She is not able to demonstrate an understanding of the areas of learning or provide a clear picture of how she will support children's development. This impacts negatively on her ability to provide a varied programme of well-planned activities to support children's learning. n The childminder does not demonstrate a sound understanding of how to identify and support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

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.
