p.1

Leadership and governance Needs attention

The childminder has not maintained a current paediatric first-aid certificate. This is a breach of requirements. However, the childminder demonstrates a sound knowledge of how to respond to a medical emergency. She clearly explains the procedures that she would follow to ensure children receive appropriate care. The childminder demonstrates an appropriate understanding of how to maintain a safe and suitable environment for children. She explains that she will carry out regular risk assessments within the home and during outings to identify and minimise potential hazards.

p.1

Leadership and governance Needs attention

The childminder manages her workload effectively, maintaining well-organised documentation and up-to-date records and policies. The childminder keeps her knowledge current through ongoing professional development and reflects on her practice to continually improve the quality of her provision. For example, she is keen to access further special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) training to enhance her practice and ensure she is well equipped to meet the needs of all children. The childminder explains how she will work in partnership with parents, carers and relevant professionals to ensure that all children, including those with SEND and those who may face barriers to learning, receive the support they need to make progress. She discusses how activities, routines and communication methods will be adapted to reflect children's individual needs, interests and stages of development.

The childminder explains how regular visits to parks, libraries and other community settings will help children develop their understanding of the wider world.

About this inspection

There were no early years children on roll 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 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.
