p.1

Leadership and governance Urgent improvement

The childminder is not aware of all her statutory duties and does not ensure she meets them. She does not have a clear understanding of her safeguarding responsibilities. This impacts on the safety of children. The childminder has not ensured that assistants have passed all required checks before allowing them to have unsupervised access to children. This means that she cannot be ensured of their suitability to work with children. The childminder has not completed robust vetting procedures. She has not sought a reference for assistants. This means that she is not aware of potential safeguarding risks and cannot ensure assistants are suitable for the role. The childminder has not notified Ofsted of changes that could impact her suitability to work with children. These breaches to the requirements of the 'Statutory framework for the foundation stage' compromise children's safety.

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 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.
