n The childminder has addressed the action raised at the previous inspection. She has notified Ofsted about assistants working with children on the premises. However, the childminder has included the assistants in the ratios without their suitability checks being verified by Ofsted. This breach does not have a significant impact on children's safety because the assistants were not left unsupervised with children. Furthermore, the childminder is not currently caring for children. n The childminder recognises the importance of working in partnership with parents, to help support their children's learning and progress. She understands that by observing children she would be able to share ideas with parents. For example, she would share strategies to help parents regulate their children's behaviour. The childminder also intends to offer ideas, such as blowing bubbles, to help develop children's mouth and tongue muscles.

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.
