One child present in the ECCE 2 room was not signed in on the service attendance records - The register was updated by the end of the preschool day. This was an oversight as the child in attendance came in late. It is not a normal occurrence. After a staff meeting following the inspection, we were all reminded of the importance of updating the registers and regular checks ##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child - General Safety: 1. The hot water supply provided at the children’s wash hand basin in the sanitary accommodation for the ECCE 2 room located upstairs was recorded at 46.5°C, which is in excess of the maximum safe water temperature of 43°C and posed a risk to the children. When identified, the inspector informed the registered provider of the scalding risk. The registered provider adjusted the controls on the hot water tank and the water reduced to 28.9°C following the adjustments. This non-compliance was identified at the service’s last inspection where the preventative actions outlined were; “Upon discussions with the staff, it was decided that the water temperature switch will not be raised during the 9-12pm session while the children are in the service. There will be a reminder notice placed on the door ‘not to touch the temperature gauge’ and the issue will be raised again at the next staff meeting.” The measures put into place have not adequately ensured that the risk identified would not occur again. 2. A wooden playhouse in the outdoor area had two sections attached to the front of the playhouse, which had become flaked at the bottom section, and in turn had exposed nails present. The chipped wood and exposed nails pose a risk of injury to the children - Corrective & Preventive Action General Safety: 1. The service has re-set the thermostat and are delegating the job to one staff member to ensure the water thermostat is checked before 9am every morning, and the deputy manager will double check that the delegated staff member has done the checks and will sign off on it . 2. The sections attached on the front of the wooden playhouse have been removed and any nails exposed have been removed. The service will continue our daily outdoor risk assessment with extra vigilance on the playhouse to ensure it is usable. We do hope to do further repairs but if we feel it is not fit for purpose we will remove it altogether Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28. ### Other services in Cavan - [Bunnoe Playschool](/creche/bunnoe-playschool-bunnoe.md) Bunnoe - [Busy Bees](/creche/busy-bees-cavan.md) Cavan - [Ciara's Home from Home](/creche/ciara-s-home-from-home-loughduff.md) Loughduff - [Corfree Kids Ltd](/creche/corfree-kids-ltd-lough-gowna.md) Lough Gowna - [Kings and Queens Childcare Service](/creche/kings-and-queens-childcare-service-cavan.md) Cavan - [Puddlelane Montessori Playgroup Ltd](/creche/puddlelane-montessori-playgroup-ltd-bailieborough.md) Bailieborough - [Mini Me's ECCE and Afterschool](/creche/mini-me-s-ecce-and-afterschool-ballyjamesduff.md) Ballyjamesduff - [Drumlane Community Childcare CLG](/creche/drumlane-community-childcare-clg-belturbet.md) Belturbet - [Lakeview Afterschool Redhills](/creche/lakeview-afterschool-redhills-cavan.md) Cavan [Alert me when a new report is published](/help.md) · [Dated report on this service — €19](/report.md) --- Página: https://creche-inspection-reports.pages.dev/creche/bright-start-mullagh/ Fonte: Tusla Early Years Inspectorate Recolha: 2026-09-11
