Childminder in Bromley

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has failed to notify Ofsted of changes to her circumstances, which is a requirement of her registration. For example, she has neglected to inform Ofsted about a significant event that has impacted on her ability to care for children. Additionally, the childminder has not informed Ofsted of changes to her health and new household members living on the premises. As a result, Ofsted has been unable to conduct checks to assess the suitability of these individuals. n The childminder does not have valid public liability insurance, which is a requirement of her registration. n The childminder promotes her professional development, such as safeguarding and first aid, to help keep her knowledge up to date. She knows how to identify if a child is at risk of abuse and how to report them to relevant agencies. The childminder describes the checks she will carry out to identify and address potential hazards to children during their play.

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.
