This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not hold a current paediatric first-aid certificate, which means that she is unable to provide the appropriate care for children should an accident occur. n The childminder's house and garden are safe and secure. She intends to complete regular checks to ensure that the spaces remain suitable for children. However, she has failed to maintain required public liability insurance to provide safe cover for her childminding practice. n The childminder demonstrates a suitable understanding of the signs and symptoms that would indicate that a child is being mistreated or at possible risk of harm. However, she is unable to fully assure children's safety as she does not understand other potential safeguarding concerns, such as female genital mutilation and county lines. n The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents to provide a consistent approach for children's care and learning.

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.
