This provision does not meet requirements

n The provider does not have a sufficiently secure understanding of how to identify and address safeguarding issues. She does not have a good enough knowledge of her responsibilities to ensure that she would be able to take appropriate actions to protect children should the need arise. n Ofsted previously raised an action around the childminder's knowledge of what action to take if there is an allegation made about her or her assistant. Despite this, the childminder does not display confidence in knowing what action to take in the event of such an incident. This means she cannot be relied upon to take suitable action to safeguard children. n The childminder explains that she carries out risk assessments. However, there are potential safety hazards in areas that she states are used by children. The childminder does not have good enough arrangements in place to ensure that the areas used by children are safe.

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has arrangements to record information shared by parents regarding the children in her care. However, these records are incomplete and do not ensure that the childminder has the information required for the safe and efficient management of her setting. For example, she does not have complete and accurate details of children's addresses and who has parental responsibility for them. n The childminder explains that some children who attend have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Although the childminder is aware of this and has some information about their needs, she does not consider her role in supporting children or sharing information with schools and other professionals. n The childminder has a policy for administering medication to children but does not ensure that this is understood by parents. She does not have sufficiently robust arrangements to ensure that children's health needs are understood and

met. n The childminder does not maintain an accurate record of the hours that children attend. For example, when the childminder collects children from school, she does not record their attendance until they arrive at her property. In addition, on days when she collected them from school but does not bring them to her property, she does not record their attendance at all. The childminder does not have the required details of the days and times that children are in her care. This does not sufficiently promote children's safety and welfare. n The childminder has some awareness of the learning and development requirements. For example, she talks about how she will plan activities for young children and knows that her curriculum needs to support children's learning.

15 November 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.
