Childminder in Derby

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder can identify some signs which indicate when a child may be at risk of abuse but there are gaps in her knowledge relating to aspects, such as county lines. She lacks understanding of the role of the local authority designated officer. Furthermore, she does not complete appropriate checks on people working in her setting. The childminder has not ensured she refreshes her child protection knowledge through appropriate professional development. These gaps in her understanding of safeguarding compromise children's safety and welfare. n The childminder does not understand what records must be kept to enable her to meet the needs of children. For example, she does not maintain registers of attendance, personal information about children and parents and information about who cares for children. This has the potential to compromise children's welfare. n The childminder understands the importance of daily risk assessments to ensure

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.
