n There are considerable gaps in the childminder's safeguarding knowledge. Despite completing child protection training, she is unsure of the procedure to follow if she has concerns that a child may be at risk of harm or neglect. She also does not understand what to do in the event of an allegation about herself or anyone living or working in her household. The childminder has a written safeguarding policy. However, this is not kept up to date, and it contains inaccurate information. n The childminder does not have a full understanding of how to meet the learning and development requirements of the early years foundation stage (EYFS). She has not kept up to date with changes. This has resulted in a weak understanding of how to create and deliver a challenging curriculum. She is unaware of how to plan activities and experiences linked to children's individual learning and developmental needs to help them make progress.

get fresh air and plenty of exercise. The childminder recognises the importance of providing a healthy diet and having drinking water accessible at all times. n The childminder understands the importance of evaluating her provision. The childminder is aware that that there have been reforms within the EYFS. However, she has not taken steps to improve her knowledge and recognises this has had an impact on her understanding. n The childminder is clear about the importance of promoting equality and diversity. She would use her own family experiences to help children understand others who may have different needs from their own. She describes how she will take children out into the community and to groups to meet others and develop their social skills. n The childminder demonstrates a sound understanding of building relationships with parents through sharing daily information about, for example, what children

24 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.
