Childminder in Haringey

This provision does not meet requirements

n Children's safety cannot be assured. This is because the childminder has a limited understanding and knowledge of the action that must be taken when there are safeguarding concerns about a child. Consequently, children's welfare and well-being are at risk of harm. n The childminder does not complete effective self-evaluation.
