Childminder EY277149

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder does not have a sufficient up-to-date awareness of safeguarding issues. She does not know the procedures to follow should she have concerns about the welfare of a child. This does not adequately ensure children's safety. She does, however, take appropriate action to ensure that her home is safe and secure. For example, she has fitted safety gates at the top and bottom of the stairs and another preventing access to the kitchen. The front door is locked, and the garden is secure. n The childminder has not kept her knowledge and understanding of the requirements for the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage' current. She does not have a good enough understanding of how to manage children's behaviour in an appropriate way. n The childminder has a current paediatric first-aid certificate and relevant insurance as required. n The childminder has some understanding of supporting children with special

This provision does not meet requirements

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.
