n The childminder has made some improvements since the last inspection. She has improved her understanding of the sequence of learning that children need to help them make continual progress. In discussion, the childminder explains that she gathers information from parents when children first start, to find out what children know and can do. This helps her to know how to prepare them for their next steps in learning. The childminder has now recognised that she is required to register with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as part of her responsibilities under the data protection legislation. This is with regard to the information and records that she holds. However, she has failed to complete and maintain this registration to ensure she is compliant. n The childminder discusses how she adapts her teaching methods and the care she provides to meet the individual needs of children. This includes children with

16 August 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.
