This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has not addressed the welfare requirements notice that was raised at the last inspection. This means that she continues to breach requirements and children's safety is significantly compromised. n The childminder has not improved her knowledge and understanding of the early years foundation stage requirements for learning and development. As a result, she is not able to plan an ambitious curriculum or swiftly identify gaps in children's learning. n The childminder does not ensure that the premises are safe and suitable for children. She continuously fails to understand the importance of risk assessment. For example, in the garden there is a broken incinerator bin. Inside the premises hazards, such as cleaning products and trailing wires, remain accessible to children. n The childminder has not improved her knowledge and understanding of safeguarding. She does not have sufficient knowledge of the signs that a child

may be at risk of harm of extreme behaviour. As a result, children's safety cannot be assured. n Since the last inspection, the childminder has not improved her knowledge and understanding of how to put children and babies to sleep safely. She remains unaware of the latest government safety guidance. This lack of understanding places children at risk. n The childminder continues to breach requirements because she does not keep the relevant information about children, including records of their attendance. n The childminder does not have public liability insurance in place. This is a breach of requirements.

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.
