Leadership and governance Expected standard

The childminder provides a consistent, well-organised childcare service. She has a clear understanding of her strengths, particularly in maintaining robust safeguarding arrangements and secure daily routines. This means she can ensure children are safe, secure and well cared for. The childminder's documentation is well managed and easily accessible. Disclosure and Barring Service checks, paediatric first aid, insurance and incident and attendance records are monitored effectively. This enables the childminder to run her provision smoothly and reduce unnecessary workload.

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. The registered person must ensure that this provision complies with the statutory framework for children's learning, development and care, known as the early years foundation stage.

About this inspection

There were no early years children present at the time of this inspection. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with the childminder 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.' This data was available to the inspector at the time of the inspection.
