This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not have a secure understanding of the safeguarding procedure to follow in the event of an allegation made against her, or a household member. In addition, she is unclear on the process to follow if she has concerns about a child. She does not give sufficient consideration to the implications of mobile phone usage on the premises. This does not safeguard children. n The childminder has reviewed the learning and development requirements since the last inspection. She talks about how she has reflected on the recommendations set and what she has introduced to meet these. For example, she describes how she will include mathematical language during children's play. She talks about how she will also include parents more in their children's learning to help them understand how to support their children further at home. n The childminder understands how to provide an appropriate curriculum. She

For instance, she finds out about what they know and can do, and their interests when children first start with her. n The childminder understands the importance of working with other agencies to support children's learning and development and shared examples of how she had done this previously. n The childminder understands how to support children's physical development and talks about taking children to feed the ducks, to the beach, and the soft- play area to increase their core skills. She talks about how she will support children to adopt healthy lifestyles by providing fresh fruit and vegetables at mealtimes. n The childminder understands the importance of building a positive relationship with parents, so that children feel safe and secure in her care. n The childminder talks about how she has high expectations for children's

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.
