This impacts on the safety of children. n Since the last inspection, the childminder has completed child protection training. As a result, through discussion, the childminder now demonstrates a secure knowledge and understanding of different types of abuse that a child may be at risk of.

9 January 2023 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.
