Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 15, 19, 23, 25, 26. #### Inspection of 17 November 2025 — Inspection Report Full report (PDF, Tusla) ##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment - One written reference for one adult was not validated. (d) A Police vetting document for one adult could not be interpreted as it was not translated - It was not evident that staff supervision meetings were carried out as no records of these were available. This is not in line with the policy which states that: ”Staff appraisals will be carried out for each staff member within the first six months and annually thereafter. The supervision session will be recorded by the supervisor and a record kept in the staff member’s file” - (2)(a)(b) We have validated this reference. Going forward we will ensure that all references are checked before the staff member starts employment. (2)(d) We have got the Police vetting translated professionally. Going forward we will ensure that Police vetting is translated straight away - We are in the process of doing staff appraisals which will be completed by the second week in January 2026. Summary Comment The registered provider has addressed the non-compliances as identified on inspection in relation to Regulation 9 ##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child - General Safety: 1. In the rest area in Seomra Liath the protective padding on the edge of the low windowsill had become loose and partly torn off. This posed a risk of an injury to a small child. Administration of Medication: 2. Emergency medication for one child in Seomra Liath was not stored in an easily accessible and visible location. There was no signage signifying the location of the medication and clothing was stored on top of the storage box so that it could not be seen. In the event of an emergency this could delay the administration of this medication to the child. 3. In Seomra Donn there was no care plan for a child who required an inhaler. In addition, this inhaler was not stored in its original packaging. This posed a risk to the child should the inhaler be required. Action submitted by the Registered Provider - General Safety: 1.The protective padding has been fixed in Room Liath. This will be reviewed when the health and safety officer is doing her checks. Administration of Medication: 2.The emergency medication is clearly marked. It is now stored in an easily accessible and visible location within the room. Daily checks will be carried out to ensure that the emergency medication is stored correctly. 3.The care plan has been completed in Seomra Donn. Care plans will be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that they are complete Found compliant: Regulation 11, 16, 19, 24, 25, 27, 32. #### Inspection of 2 July 2025 — Inspection Report Full report (PDF, Tusla) ##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment - Eight written and validated references required were incomplete or not available as follows: • Four references were not validated for four adults. • A second reference was required for two adults • No references were available for one adult - The documentation available regarding the qualification for one adult could not be interpreted, therefore it was unclear if this person had a recognised qualification in childcare - The registered provider did not ensure that the person-in charge and their deputy had the appropriate training and knowledge regarding child safeguarding. Appropriate steps to address an incident which occurred in the service were not taken in a timely manner - The required information is now in place for all files which were incomplete. We have hired a staff member from head office to look after recruitment information going forward. They will check that all documentation is in place prior to the staff member starting employment. This will eliminate the risk of references not being checked. We have a clear recruitment policy in place - We have attached a copy of the letter of recognition to prove that the person referred to has a qualification in childcare. Going forward this information will be available prior to employment. (7)(a) All managers and staff have completed training in Safeguarding. New staff will complete training prior to commencing employment Found compliant: Regulation 10, 11, 19, 23, 25, 27, 28, 32, 33. ### Earlier inspections - 18 February 2025 — Inspection Report · PDF - 23 October 2024 — Inspection Report · PDF - 2 July 2024 — New Service · PDF ### Other services in Wicklow - [Castle Kidz](/creche/castle-kidz-newcastle.md) Newcastle - [Charlesland Park Montessori](/creche/charlesland-park-montessori-greystones.md) Greystones - [Cocoon Childcare](/creche/cocoon-childcare-blessington.md) Blessington - [Cuala Montessori](/creche/cuala-montessori-bray.md) Bray - [Footprints Montessori Pre-school](/creche/footprints-montessori-pre-school-greystones.md) Greystones - [Little Explorers Childcare](/creche/little-explorers-childcare-greystones-2.md) Greystones - [Safari Childcare](/creche/safari-childcare-bray.md) Bray - [Head Start Pre-school & Montessori](/creche/head-start-pre-school-montessori-arklow.md) Arklow - [Little Harvard Childcare](/creche/little-harvard-childcare-rathnew.md) Rathnew - [The Little Red Hen](/creche/the-little-red-hen-aughrim.md) Aughrim [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/caireen-early-years-ltd-delgany/ Fonte: Tusla Early Years Inspectorate Recolha: 2026-09-11
