The childminder has not maintained up-to-date paediatric first-aid training. However, she possesses appropriate knowledge of emergency first-aid procedures. Although the childminder has not renewed her safeguarding training in line with requirements, she demonstrates a clear understanding of her roles and responsibilities in safeguarding children, including the identification of possible signs and symptoms of child abuse and the procedures for reporting concerns. The childminder is diligent in ensuring the safety of her home environment and conducts risk assessments for outdoor activities, such as walks to parks or other places of interest.

The childminder also demonstrates an understanding of how to promote positive behaviour and emotional development, explaining her approach to teaching children is about kindness, sharing and mutual respect. The childminder outlines her approach to promoting children's health and welfare by fostering healthy lifestyles through balanced nutrition and consistent physical activity.

About this inspection

We carried out this inspection under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006 on the quality and standards of provision that is registered on the Early Years Register.

About this inspection

There were no early years children present and/or on roll at the time of this inspection. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with leaders and an inspection of the premises, equipment, and any relevant documentation. When there are no early years children present, inspectors only evaluate and grade leadership and governance as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess the impact on children of other evaluation areas.
