(3) New employees will not start until vetting is complete and all references are checked

(1) (b)The registered provider did not ensure that a record in writing was available showing the date the child began attending the service on all of the records reviewed

Provider's corrective action:

Registration forms have been updated to include start date. When parents are filling out registration forms, they must fill in start date to complete the form

Fire Safety: 1. On the morning of the inspection there were seventeen children present, however only eleven had been signed in. This could affect the safe evacuation and accountability of all children in the event of an emergency. Outing: 2. As the service does not have an outdoor area on the premises, staff stated they regularly use the local green area or go for walks locally so children can access the outdoors during their time in the service. The staff member stated they had last accessed the local area three times the previous week however, there was no risk assessment available detailing what checks had taken place prior to the outing as per the service policy. The last available completed risk assessment available for inspection was dated 13th October 2023. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

Provider's corrective action:

Fire Safety: 1. The sign in book is now kept at the front door, each day a staff member is assigned to signing the children in and a staff member will sign the children in as they come in the door. Outing: We have started doing risk assessment for outdoor local walks on paper form to ensure records are kept together and for easy access for inspections. We have created a new template that will be used daily going forward. The responsibility is given to a staff member weekly to ensure the risk assessment is completed each day manually

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 19, 25.
