n The childminder fails to meet all requirements under the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (EYFS). She has allowed her paediatric first-aid qualification to expire. In addition, the childminder does not monitor the quality of the provision and her practice effectively to enable her to identify areas to improve. The quality of the provision continues to decline. n The childminder has a weak understanding of risk assessment.

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.
