Childminder in Birmingham

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder lacks knowledge and understanding of the requirements relating to disqualification. He does not recognise what circumstances might mean that somebody is disqualified from working with children. As a result, children may not be safeguarded from people who are not suitable. n The childminder does not have a suitable understanding of how to support children who may have delays in their development or have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). He does not know how to put arrangements in place to support children, and their families, in gaining the help and support they need. As a result, children with SEND would not be well enough supported. n The childminder has a poor knowledge of how to regularly assess children's learning and development.

However, he does not demonstrate an understanding of how to tailor activities and experiences to support children's learning. n Through discussion, the childminder demonstrates knowledge of how to manage children's behaviour in an appropriate way.

18 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.
