Childminder in Lambeth

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has not kept up to date with the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (EYFS) and is unable to describe how she will implement a curriculum to meet children's individual needs. n The childminder is unclear of the prime areas of learning of the early years foundation stage and, therefore, does not understand what children need to learn at each developmental stage. n The childminder has good safeguarding knowledge and describes the processes to follow should she be concerned that a child is at risk of harm. She can recognise the signs and symptoms of abuse and is aware of who to contact if a concern is raised against her. n The childminder explained how she intends to work with parents to identify starting points in the children's learning. She will communicate with them daily to share feedback and encourage parents to impart information from home, which she can build upon to extend children's learning and development.

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.
