In addition, she does not have current public liability insurance for her childminding provision. n The childminder understands some signs that may indicate a child is suffering abuse. However, she has not developed her understanding of safeguarding since the last inspection and is not aware of all aspects, such as how to recognise if children are being exposed to extremist views.

p.2

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.
