Childminder in Manchester

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder demonstrates a significantly poor understanding of what it means to be legally compliant with the requirements of her registration. A catalogue of failings have been identified and the childminder's capacity to remedy these shortfalls are incredibly poor. Due to the major breaches in legal requirements, Ofsted has decided to suspend the childminder's registration. n The childminder has failed to notify Ofsted of all persons aged 16 years and over living on the premises. This means that Ofsted have been unable to determine the suitability of household members. This puts children at unnecessary risk. n Risk assessments are ineffective. The childminder fails to identify and reduce hazards in her home. For example, she places piles of clothing and shoes on the stairs. This poses a significant tripping hazard for children and household members. n Toilet facilities for children are not suitable. There is a large hole in the toilet

door, which does not afford children with the privacy that they rightly deserve. n The childminder leaves used nappies with urine and faeces on the bedroom floor. Flies have started to accumulate in the bedroom and across the house. This poses a significant risk to children's health and safety. n The childminder presents with a poor understanding of child protection. She is unaware of the local referral procedure and is unsure of the possible signs, symptoms and indicators of abuse and neglect. She does not understand the steps to take if there is an allegation against herself or a household member. This incredibly poor understanding of child protection places children at risk. n The childminder has a poor understanding of child development. She cannot explain how she intends to offer an ambitious curriculum to children. She is unable to explain the areas of learning and her understanding of assessment is

poor. She has no understanding of the progress check for children between the ages of two and three years. n The childminder notes the importance of partnership working and how to offer an inclusive service. She has secure links in place with the local authority. n The childminder shows a sound understanding of how she intends to promote the good behaviour of children. She intends to use positive reinforcement, such as praise. The childminder understands that corporal punishment cannot be used.

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.
