This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has not made the required improvement in her knowledge to meet the statutory requirements of the early years foundation stage. Many of the breaches of requirements found at this inspection have been raised before by inspectors. This means that there continues to be significant weaknesses in the quality of the provision. n Although the childminder has improved some aspects of her safeguarding knowledge, some others remain poor. For example, she is unable to identify all indicators of potential harm to a child, particularly in relation to recognising signs that a child or family may be at risk of radicalisation or holding extreme views. She also does not know the procedures to follow if such concerns were identified. n The childminder has a written statement to safeguard children. However, this does not include all the correct procedures to be followed when various child protection concerns arise, in line with local safeguarding partners. In addition, it

refers to out-of-date guidance and legislation. This is a breach of the Childcare Register requirements. n The childminder has improved her knowledge and understanding of how children learn.

However, the childminder demonstrates poor understanding of how to implement a rich curriculum for groups of children of mixed ages. n The childminder knows how to assess children's development and their progress.

This could have a detrimental effect on children's literacy learning when they move to school. n The childminder does not have a good knowledge and understanding of how to

9 March 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.
