This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not hold a current first-aid qualification. She has not taken sufficient steps to ensure her knowledge and understanding is up to date. Consequently, she lacks the current knowledge required to respond effectively to children's medical incidents. n The childminder intends to support smooth transitions for new children by gathering key information from parents. She describes how this will include dietary requirements and allergies. She plans to gradually introduce the child to her home over a two-week period, allowing parents to spend time with the child to build familiarity and confidence. n The childminder talks about how she will use observations and assessments, including the two-year-old check, to identify each child's developmental stage. She plans to provide targeted support in areas using children's interests to motivate them to learn new skills. n The childminder intends to use community resources, such as libraries and

This provision does not meet requirements

13 February 2025 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.
