The childminder discusses how she explains to parents that the food they send for their children needs to contain healthy choices. She outlines the importance of children's physical activity. She explains that it is also important for children's wellbeing. The childminder describes how she supports children's individual needs, such as around their communication and language skills.

p.1

Leadership and governance Needs attention

Through discussions, the childminder outlines her understanding of providing a broad curriculum that supports children. However, she does not demonstrate how this is consistently precise and well implemented to support children's outcomes in their learning. The childminder does not ensure that she continues to enhance her professional knowledge and understanding of children's development. She emphasises the support she provides to children who attend part time. For example, the childminder explains that she shares books that children enjoy in the setting with parents. She demonstrates an understanding of how to liaise with external agencies. For instance, she is in touch with local authorities to receive advice and support.

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 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 evaluate and grade only leadership and governance, as there is no reliable evidence from other evaluation areas through which to assess the impact on children.
