Childminder in Brent

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not demonstrate how she will use her observations of children's development, to assess and plan effectively for their next steps in learning. She is not clear of the learning intentions behind the experiences and activities she plans to provide for children. This lack of knowledge inhibits her ability to coherently plan and sequence children's learning and progress. n The childminder has a limited awareness of her role and responsibilities about completing the progress check when children are aged between two and three years, which is a statutory requirement. n The childminder completes online training on topics, such as helping children to manage their feelings and self-regulate, to support her practice. Although the childminder demonstrates a basic awareness about how to manage children's behaviour, she is not able to explain what she has learned from attending training to further enhance her practice.

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.
