This provision does not meet requirements

n Since her last inspection, the childminder has taken some steps to address identified weaknesses in her service. For instance, she has completed training to update her knowledge of safeguarding procedures and now has a better understanding of how to promote children's health. However, she continues to fail to meet the requirements of her registration. n The childminder does not understand her responsibility to let Ofsted know about significant events. She has failed to notify Ofsted about changes to her health and to household members. This means that Ofsted has been unable to assess any impact of these changes on the childminder's suitability to carry out her role. n The childminder is able to explain the activities that she would provide for children of differing ages and abilities. She explains how she would access local groups to extend children's learning and share ongoing information with parents

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.
