##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- Safe Sleep: 1. The children’s comforters were observed to remain with the sleeping children in the cot room. This is not in line with the services safe sleep policy which states “comforters will be removed”, and not in line with the recommended safe sleep guidance. This poses a risk to children. 2. Two children in the Toddler Room were observed to be given their bottles to drink while lying on stackable beds at sleep time. This is not in line with the recommend safe sleep guidelines. This poses a risk to children

- Corrective & Preventive Action Safe Sleep: 1. The staff now take each child comforters of them and put them into their box or bag as soon as the fall asleep. This has been discussed with all staff at a staff meeting and was implemented the day after inspection for the safety of all the children in our care. 2. Toddlers who have a bottle of milk before sleep time now either sit in the cosy corner or sit upright on the toddler bed until the bottle is gone and then staff put the bottle into the child’s bag, and then the child is allowed to lie down for their sleep. This has been discussed with all staff at a staff meeting, and the staff working in these rooms are now aware and put this action in place the day after inspection, for the safety of all the children in our care
