n Following the last inspection, the childminder informed Ofsted of changes to household members as required. However, following this notification, she failed to provide the required information about a new household member, so that Ofsted could commence the suitability checking process. She also failed to inform Ofsted when she married and changed her name, which is a requirement of registration. n Overall, the childminder demonstrates a limited knowledge of the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, particularly the learning and development requirements. This restricts her ability to plan and provide a curriculum which is sequenced to build on what children know and can do in some areas of learning. n There is a suitable range of toys and books kept accessible, so children of all ages can help themselves and develop independence. The childminder suitably explains how she plans to use these resources to help support children's

speaking and counting skills. Her knowledge of how to support children's communication, language and mathematical skills is stronger than in other areas of learning. n The childminder maintains a valid first-aid certificate and refreshes her safeguarding training regularly. She understands her responsibility to protect the welfare of children. She knows how to identify and report any child protection concerns and keeps information on how to contact other agencies readily available. She has suitable ways to assess and minimise any risks to children indoors, outdoors and on outings. n The childminder recognises the value of working in partnership with parents to help ensure consistency in children's care and learning. She has suitable ways to gather useful information from parents when children start. However, she mainly collects information to help support children's care needs, with less information collected about their learning and development needs. She understands the

requirement to provide parents with a written assessment of their child's progress at age two and has a suitable way to do this. n The childminder describes suitable ways to help children to manage their feelings and behaviour and develop confidence. She talks about providing activities to help support children's awareness of a range of cultures and faiths.

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.
