n The childminder does not evaluate her childminding provision to ensure she is remaining compliant with the requirements of registration. For example, she does not maintain a daily record and hours of attendance. This is a requirement. n The childminder demonstrates, through discussion, about how to identify matters affecting the welfare and safety of children and how to report these.

This means children's welfare may not be assured. n Through discussion, the childminder illustrates her awareness of the curriculum she will deliver to promote children's learning.

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.
