This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has not kept up to date with the changes to the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (EYFS), and the learning and development requirements. She does not have an adequate understanding of how to provide a planned and sequenced programme of activities to help children to develop across all areas of learning. n The range of resources, experiences and activities available for children are inadequate. The childminder reports that as the toys and resources have broken she has not replaced them. Consequently, what is on offer is insufficient to provide enjoyable and challenging experiences for children. n The childminder has an appropriate understanding of how to challenge negative stereotypes about race, gender and disability. However, she has a poor understanding of how to provide age-appropriate opportunities for children to learn about diversity. This is further hindered by the inadequate range of

resources available to help promote positive images of diversity. n The childminder has failed to meet the legal requirements at the last two inspections. Insufficient progress has been made since the last inspection to secure improvement, overall. The childminder has successfully addressed the previous actions raised in relation to safeguarding. However, her understanding of her role and responsibilities is poor and she continues to struggle to secure improvement without external direction from professionals. n The home is suitably safe and clean and the childminder understands the importance of keeping children safe at home and on outings. However, the cupboards in the kitchen are not in a good state of repair and some items stored in the cupboards are accessible to children. n The childminder has increased her knowledge of wider safeguarding issues and knows about possible signs of abuse, and the procedure to follow if she has a

concern about a child's welfare. n The childminder understands the importance of working with parents. There are effective systems in place to obtain the necessary information required to meet their care needs. The childminder understands the assessment requirements and there is an appropriate system in place to share this information with parents.

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.
