This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not identify weaknesses in practice or fully understand her role and responsibilities. She has not improved her knowledge of the requirements since the last inspection. Although the childminder now holds a valid and appropriate first-aid training qualification, she does not have a first-aid box accessible for use with children. This compromises children's health and safety. n The childminder does not have a procedure to follow should she have a concern about a child. She is unaware of how to act should there be an allegation made against her. In addition, the childminder has not improved her knowledge of the 'Prevent' duty guidance to prevent children from being drawn into radicalisation and extremism. This compromises children's welfare. n The childminder is unaware of what information she needs to keep about children and does not hold any information or records about children in her care.

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.
