Childminder 2750014

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has failed to record the times of attendance for the children who she provides childcare for, which does not support their safety in the event of an incident or if information is required by other agencies. n The childminder understands that regular assessment of children's progress identifies any gaps in children's learning and development. She recognises this enables her to provide more targeted activities and opportunities to build on what children already know. However, the childminder does not have a suitable understanding of the requirement to complete a written progress check when children are aged between two and three years, including who this should be shared with and its purpose. n The childminder has a good knowledge of the signs and symptoms that may indicate a child could be at risk of harm. She knows who to contact if she has a child protection concern, including any allegations against herself or her family.

20 November 2024 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.
