Childminder in South Gloucestershire

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not know the procedures to follow if concerned about a child in her care. She is not familiar with some aspects of how to spot the risks children might face. The childminder also lacks knowledge of the procedures to follow in the event of an allegation made against herself. This means children's safety is at risk of harm. n The childminder understands the importance of making sure that children learn about healthy lifestyles and how to follow good hygiene routines. For example, children learn good oral health, brushing their teeth before going to bed when staying overnight. The childminder promotes children's physical health and emotional well-being and takes account of any dietary needs. However, the childminder did not have a current and valid paediatric first-aid certificate. This means she may not be up to date with current first-aid procedures. n The childminder has procedures in place to work in partnership with parents.

For example, visiting the arboretum and local places of interest. As she currently cares for older children, she supports them with their homework. n The childminder talked about how she would manage children's behaviour. She states that it is important to keep children busy and occupied. If there is any unacceptable behaviour, she would explain in simple and clear language why that behaviour was unacceptable.

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.
