n The childminder is in breach of requirements relating to safeguarding practice. The childminder does not fully understand safeguarding policy and procedures. She is unclear how to report concerns in a timely way. Furthermore, on the day of the inspection, the childminder did not have public liability insurance, which is a requirement. n The childminder does not assess the risk of all areas where children will play and learn. For example, the garden has broken garden furniture and dangerous garden equipment.

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.
