##### Regulation 19 — Health, welfare, and development of child

- 1. The privacy and dignity of a child having their nappy changed could not be maintained. The location of the nappy changing area for the children in nappies from Pre-school 1A was unsuitable. The nappy changing table was in the sanitary lobby and was directly opposite the main sanitary entrance door. The main sanitary door opened inward potentially hitting a staff member changing a child having their nappy changed. Also, there was no door or screen around the nappy changing area and therefore when an older child was using the sanitary facilities (wash hand basin or toilet) a child having their nappy changed could be visibly viewed by other children and or a staff member. This was a non-compliance on the previous inspection dated 12th of January 2023

- On the 30th of May 2024, the registered provider advised of the following; Corrective and Preventive Action 1. The nappy changing area for Preschool 1A was relocated to the disabled toilets down the hall. Therefore, the privacy and dignity of the child is now maintained. We will make every effort to ensure the privacy and dignity of the child will be maintained while the children’s nappies are being changed

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

- General Safety: 1. Garda vetting was available for eighteen staff members. However, the renewal date for seven staff members of the vetting disclosures 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’. 2. The doors into the kitchen, milk kitchen, sluice room, and staff sanitary areas, had no system of security posing a potential access/safety risk. 3. In the outdoor all-weathered sheltered play area, there were two go carts with the pedals and handgrips missing, and one red tricycle with the handgrips missing, thereby posing a potential safety risk. 4. In the outdoor wooden sheltered play area, there was a rusty metal nail exposed at the sink of the mud kitchen, which could pose a potential safety risk. 5. In the outdoor area, there was a section of the wood missing from a wooden cable reel resulting in the exposure of metal nails posing a potential safety risk. Infection Control: 6. In the designated quiet/ rest room, adjacent to Pre-school room 2, one child size poof and one couch had evidence of being frayed and torn, thereby preventing effective cleaning. Action submitted by the Registered Provider On the 30th of May and 4th of June 2024, the registered provider advised of the following;

A note of all staffs garda vetting dates has been logged and will be checked yearly to ensure that no staff members vetting goes out of date. 2.
