n The childminder shows a good understanding of the signs and symptoms of abuse and knows who to contact should she have any concerns about children. She has a good understanding of the wider aspects of safeguarding such as the 'Prevent' duty and female genital mutilation.

p.2

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.
