This posed a serious risk of strangulation to a child as although not within reach of the children from the floor, the children present could climb on a chair to gain access. It is acknowledged that once this was identified by the Inspector, the blind was immediately removed. 2.Garda vetting was available for two staff members. However, this vetting disclosure was not dated within the previous three years in adherence to with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice ‘EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. 3. At 10:30 it was observed that the side gate entrance leading to the ECCE 1 Room a lock was in place, however this lock was open. This posed a risk of unauthorised access as the lock could be accessed and opened from outside. 4. No adult was present in the Little Stars room at 13:10 while five children aged over 2 years were sleeping on low beds. Music was playing very loudly in the room. Following discussion with staff members it was understood that the children were monitored every 10 minutes by staff from the room next door. This posed a risk to sleeping children as they would not be seen or heard if they awoke. When children are asleep on low beds a staff member must be with them at all times. Action submitted by the Registered Provider - General Safety: 1. The blind was removed immediately on the day of inspection. It has been re-fitted and is no longer accessible to a child. The observation of the blind has been included on our daily safety checklist. 2. The renewal of Garda vetting process for the two staff members has commenced and email confirmation received. Going forward there will be regular checks on staff files to ensure that all vetting is up to date. 3. Code lock was purchased and placed on the gate – keycode displayed for staff members only, and to act as an egress route in the event of a fire.
